So I tried downloading a doggie age app. Or, you know, any age app. I get months and days, but not weeks? Come on. That's the one I want!
There was a site that have the exact month and date that a baby became x weeks old. Why can't I find an app with that simple functionality?
Whatever.
I found the red cross had a dog first aid app. There are dog journal/medical history apps.
There doesn't seem to be a dog training journal/to do app. Only found instruction book apps.
I'd like one where you enter the trick, define it, and you can break it down into related/building block tricks, and in that main trick or sub trick category add journal updates on progress our instructor notes. I suppose the "medical history" in Pet Planner is similar. Perhaps I'll have a "max" and "max training."
Having one that reminds you to train it per day, and has a flash card style counter for how many times it was done well, slowly, or poorly would be sweet. Progress could be charted over time. Or a more general "did you practice ______ today? Overall, how well did _____ perform?" Questionnaire could work for people who, like me, train abruptly without all the tools possible, and/or don't do well with that extra thing in the hand to remember.
If it had a button for a "yes" or click sound that also functioned as a counter, I bet people would go gaga for it.
Well whatever, I can't code like that. ...yet.
But I can bake.
Enter puppy treats.
Tried the recipe pictured. Added honey to it, and pulsed rolled oats in our food processor for puppy-friendly flour. Needed more oat flour than called for; 1.5 cups became 1.75-2 cups. but okay.
It tastes okay, but the competition between peanut butter and pumpkin leads to odd flavor, too busy, not a clear note.
Max doesn't seem to care, he might really like them, once he gets over the "What is this in my mouth and do I like it?" trial period. Right now it isn't super high value, just above average. We can do better.
Conclusion: I find them meh but handy. Had everything but no-sodium PB ($2.88), so cost to output, or ROI, was fantastic.
I will say that writing "whatever nut butter" is egregious, based on what I've read about dogs and nuts. They are not good for them to eat! Peanuts are actually a bean. If that's wrong, feel free to correct me with sources. But under current understanding, do NOT use almond or cashew butter.
Oh, and here is the original link.
