Get Early AccessYour dog will not stop jumping on guests. Your puppy treats the living room carpet as a bathroom. Pet training problems feel urgent when you are living with them, but generic advice like "be consistent" does not tell you what to actually do at 7 AM when your puppy is eating your shoes.
It creates a phased training plan for your specific [PET_TYPE] and [TRAINING_GOAL]. You select the animal's age and describe the [SPECIFIC_BEHAVIOR] you want to address. Whether that is basic commands, leash manners, potty training, or fixing anxiety, the AI builds a step-by-step progression with clear milestones.
Each phase tells you what to do, what to say, how to reward, and how long to expect before moving on. It flags common mistakes that slow progress and warns about methods that could make the problem worse. The plan adjusts to your available training time, from five minutes a day to multiple sessions.

Select [PET_TYPE] and [AGE] first because training techniques differ hugely between a puppy and a senior dog. Pick your [TRAINING_GOAL] from the list. If nothing fits exactly, choose the closest option and add details in [SPECIFIC_BEHAVIOR].
In [CHALLENGE], describe what is actually happening. 'He pulls on the leash' is better than 'leash problems.' Include what you have already tried in [TRAINING_HISTORY] so the AI does not suggest things that already failed.
The AI will create a progressive plan. Don't skip ahead even if early steps seem too easy. Each phase builds the foundation for the next. Watch for the advancement signs it describes before moving on.
Select 'puppy or kitten' for [AGE] and 'not sure what approach to use' for [APPROACH]. The plan starts with absolute basics and explains the reasoning behind each technique so you learn alongside your pet.
You know the basics but one behavior will not budge. Describe everything you have tried in [TRAINING_HISTORY] and [CHALLENGE]. The AI identifies where your current approach might be reinforcing the unwanted behavior.
When kids interact with pets, training needs extra safety considerations. Mention children in your [CHALLENGE] field and the plan includes age-appropriate ways to involve kids in training consistently.
Rescued animals often arrive with unknown history and hidden triggers. Describe what you have observed so far in [CHALLENGE] and select 'unknown' for [TRAINING_HISTORY]. The plan starts with trust-building exercises before any obedience work and flags behaviors that may need a professional behaviorist.
