This app can help soothe your dog’s anxiety during a storm! Dogs can hear up to three times as much as us humans and can easily build stress and anxiety when they encounter a strange noise. Just like humans, soothing music can calm our nerves and distress.
Dog Whistler
By Mobeezio, Inc. ($.99)
Use this app to teach your dog new tricks! With multiple sound patterns, you can associate different tricks with different sound to help your pet identify which trick you are asking for your pet to do. Its best function in my opinion is the motion activated alarm function, where you can set the device to sound an alarm whenever it detects a movement. For example, training your dog to stay off your couch.
