We’ve combed through the choices to tell you about our hands-down favorite dog apps. From training to health tips and even adoptions, each app makes your life—and your dog’s—a little easier.

Best Dog Training App

Puppr

Puppr is a super-popular new app that includes step-by-step photo instructions and a built-in clicker to help you train your dog. The lessons cover everything from basic obedience like “sit” to advanced tricks like “skateboard.” If the trainer and dogs featured look familiar, it’s because they’re legitimate dog training stars: Sara Carson & The Super Collies (America’s Got Talent top 5 finalists)!

Best Dog Walking App

The Rover App, of course!

We’re not afraid to toot our own horn! There’s a reason the Rover dog walking app has an average rating of 4.9 stars with over 101,000 reviews. In fact, it’s the number one dog walking app available.

Much as you’d like to, you can’t always take your dog with you on outings or be home to take her for a walk midday. That’s where Rover can help. Our free app gives you access to the nation’s largest network of pet sitters and dog walkers.

Read reviews, browse photos, and message the perfect sitter for you, your dog, and your budget. Then, book and pay all through Rover’s secure app. It’s never been easier to find the best care for your best friend.

    Best Dog Whistle App

     

    iTrainer Dog Whistle & Clicker

    Do dog whistle apps work? The idea is that a high-frequency whistle can get dogs’ attention better than the human voice alone. These days, trainers consider whistles useful training aids alongside clickers. They both can be used as cues to reinforce good behavior, or to call dogs away from distractions.
