Frequently asked questions

Canine Insights is a dog behaviour tracking app that helps owners understand what's driving their dog's behaviour. You log sleep quality, stress signals, activity and triggers each day, and the app surfaces patterns over time — revealing what consistently affects how your dog feels and behaves. You get a daily recovery score and personalised recommendations based on your dog's individual data.

Training apps teach commands. Canine Insights helps you understand why your dog behaves the way they do — and what's driving it on any given day. It's a behaviour tracker built on pattern recognition, not a course.

Yes. Canine Insights is built by a qualified animal behaviourist with a BSc in Animal Behaviour. Every feature is grounded in published research in canine cognition, stress physiology and learning theory. All recommendations align with APBC and ABTC professional guidelines. No dominance theory, no aversive methods.

No — and we're clear about that. For complex or serious behavioural issues, always work with a qualified professional. Canine Insights supports your understanding day-to-day. The data you build can make professional sessions significantly more productive.

Most users notice meaningful patterns within 10–14 days of consistent logging. The insights become more specific as data accumulates — the key is logging regularly, even on quiet days.

Consistency matters more than perfection. Logging 5–6 days a week gives the app enough data to find reliable patterns. Occasional gaps are fine — long stretches without logging will slow things down.

Yes — particularly well. Rescue dogs often arrive with no behavioural history. Canine Insights builds that picture from scratch, without assumptions, tailored entirely to your individual dog from day one.

All breeds, all ages. The insights are based on your dog's individual patterns — not breed averages. Whether you have a puppy or a 12-year-old senior, the system adapts to what it learns from your specific dog.
