Master a Movement
One movement. Five minutes. Somewhere new each week.
Every movement is a ladder of six places. You start where it is easy and finish where you actually need it: at the kerb, in the queue, under the cafe table. Daily reminders keep you on the step you are on, and your practice log shows the climb.
Step 1 of 6
Living room. Where it is easy. No smells, no audience, just the two of you.
34 movements, six families.
Focus Heel
Twenty seconds of attention at your leg, on cue, then back to a sniffy walk.
Hand Touch
A target you can point anywhere, so you never have to pull.
Name Snap
Your dog's head turns the instant you say their name.
Ping Pong Recall
Two people take turns calling your dog, who sprints between them and gets paid at each end.
1-2-3 Walk
You count one, two, three as you walk and your dog gets a treat by your leg on every three.
Up Down Game
You drop a treat, your dog eats it, looks up at you, and the look earns the next treat on the floor.
It's Yer Choice
Treats sit in your open hand and your dog earns one by backing off and looking at you instead of mugging it.
Want something that is not on the list? Name any cue or position and Snootly builds your dog a ladder for it, five minutes a day, rising through harder places.
The parent side
Half the training is you.
Snootly gets to know your dog's breed family, then coaches the person on the other end of the lead: what your dog was bred for, what that means for training, and a fresh tip every week.

Big personality, small package
Pickle is a Pomeranian, so Uma's story starts here, then moves on to what his body needs and how to train at his level.
Five reminders, from us to you.
Honest expectations, not a lecture. Progress dips and wobbles, and patience is part of the job.
Every session counts
Everything for the five minutes that matter.
The kit a trainer would hand you, in your pocket: a marker, a timer, a voice in your ear and a plan that bends to your week.
Clicker and whistle
Mark the moment, tap any time.
Click the instant the behaviour happens, then reward within a second or two. Consistency is what teaches the marker.

Timed sessions
Time's up, nice work with Pickle!
Score the session in one tap. Reps, how it went and how Pickle seemed all go into the log.
Coached audio
Eyes on your dog, not your phone.
Listen to a skill as a coached, step by step audio session. Olivia reads the intro, then walks you through each step at your pace.
Your progress
Any session, on any skill, keeps it going.
Streaks, training time, plans in progress and every session you have logged, in one place.

What kind of training does Snootly use?
Reward based training in short, frequent sessions. Every skill comes with a method, things to avoid and tips, and the programs build one small step at a time. The app's reminders to you are about patience and play: never punish a recall, and end every session on something your dog can already do.
How many programs and skills are there?
There are 26 guided programs, from Puppy Foundations to Senior Brain and Body, and more than 90 skills across Main skills and Out and about. Master a Movement adds 34 movements, each with a six place ladder, and the Academy has 21 short reads on the how and why.
How long does training take each day?
Most programs ask for a few minutes, once or twice a day. Master a Movement is built around one movement, five minutes, one session a day, somewhere new each week. Each program lists its own length and rhythm before you start.
Is it suitable for puppies, rescues and older dogs?
Yes. There are programs for new puppies, teenage dogs, rescue dogs in their first three months and dogs aged seven and up, and some movements are marked for adult dogs only. Snootly uses your dog's age to recommend where to start.
Can I make my own training plan?
Yes. Build a plan of your own by picking the skills and the length, as a week by week plan or a simple checklist, or ask Snootly Agent to shape one around what you want to work on.
Does Snootly replace a trainer or a vet?
No. Snootly gives you structure, methods and a record of your practice. For aggression, serious anxiety or any sudden change in behaviour, talk to your vet and a qualified behaviourist.
