Problem
Dog owners often struggle to find practical, timely training advice that fits their dog's specific breed, personality, and daily life. In-person sessions are hard to schedule, while generic videos fail to account for individual circumstances, leaving owners without clear next steps when challenges arise.
Solution
ModDog is an AI-driven training platform that delivers personalized coaching tailored to each dog's unique profile and the owner's current situation. Users can ask about a specific challenge and receive practical guidance shaped by their dog's age, motivation, environment, and household routines. The platform converts this advice into a structured training plan for the coming weeks, making practice clear, repeatable, and manageable. ModDog's coaching is grounded in the practical approach of co-founder Steve Haynes, whose experience includes training over 20,000 dogs, and the platform emphasizes that AI makes coaching more accessible without replacing professional judgment.
