For busy puppy owners, fitting weekly classes around work, family life and other commitments is not always easy.
Training at home can offer a more convenient alternative, allowing owners to work with their puppy in familiar surroundings and at a pace that suits them.
Training that fits around everyday life
Rather than expecting owners to follow a fixed class schedule, the Zigzag app provides short, bite-sized lessons that can be incorporated into everyday routines. Its personalised programme takes a puppy’s age and breed into account, with lessons covering everything from basic cues and toilet training to lead walking, socialisation and managing behaviours such as biting and barking.
The app includes more than 250 training lessons with how-to videos, giving owners practical guidance they can follow at home. The free version also allows users to access up to three lessons each day and follow a personalised training path.
Expert puppy training support at home
One of the challenges of training without classes can be knowing what to do when a puppy behaves unexpectedly. Zigzag is designed to provide additional support, with its Premium service offering access to professional training experts for questions and advice, alongside unlimited training content.
This means puppy owners can learn as they go, putting training into practice during real-life situations at home, in the garden or out on walks. While some puppies or more complex behavioural problems may still benefit from help from a qualified professional in person, Zigzag offers a convenient way for owners to build their training knowledge without relying on weekly classes.
