One system. One language your dog can understand.
DogVibe brings smart training tools, guided training and everyday control together in one connected system.
From leash pulling and recall to off-leash boundaries and barking, DogVibe gives you one consistent way to communicate with your dog, so everyday training leads to something bigger: more trust, more confidence, and more freedom together.
You’ve tried training. So why are the same problems still there?
You may have watched the videos, tried different techniques, changed equipment, or worked with a trainer, but progress still feels inconsistent.
One technique says one thing. Another says something different. Your timing changes, your signals change, and what worked yesterday stops working today.
To you, the changes seem inconsequential. To your dog, the rules keep changing.
1. DogVibe
A first-of-its-kind Bluetooth controlled training collar meant to be worn 24/7.
DogVibe is the center of the whole system and clips onto the collar your dog already wears. It talks to your pup with an ultrasonic tone and vibration. It has a dedicated recall tone, bark detection, and a night light. It connects wirelessly to your phone, the remote, and other all other modules.
- Attaches to the collar your dog already wears
- Ultrasonic correction tone and vibration
- Dedicated recall tone
- Bark detection
- Night light
- Fully waterproof
- Two-week battery, USB-C charging
2. Leash Module
Helps reduce constant leash pulling.
Clips between the collar and the leash. The moment your dog pulls, the collar responds. Automatically, on every walk, with perfect timing. You set how much pull triggers a correction and whether the correction builds gradually or fires immediately.
- Works with any-size dog
- Waterproof
- Automatic corrections (tone/vibration/static)
- Fully adjustable based on dog’s weight and behavior
- Fully adjustable inside the app
- No remote needed
- Finally achieve loose-leash walks
3. Long-Range Remote
Build virtual moving fences and get long-range, off-leash control.
When you need to communicate with your dog from a distance, the remote reaches three-quarters of a mile for recall. You don’t have to carry it every day, but it’s there when the situation calls for it.
- 3/4 mile range for all controls
- Enables Proximity Mode with 5-200’ range
- Waterproof
- 2 week charge
- Finely tunable on remote + app
- Lanyard + clip included
4. DogVibe App
Quick controls right from the controller you already own.
The app connects the technology to the training. Every setting lives in one place, including lock screen controls, so you can send a correction without digging a remote out of your pocket. One account runs up to four dogs, and the whole family’s phones can pair to the same collar.
- Lock screen controls
- Manages up to four dogs at the same time
- Approximately 200 feet of Bluetooth range*
- No subscription
*Bluetooth range depends on phone specs. For off-leash distance communication, use the long-range remote.
5. Static Module
Optional. Separate. Completely up to you. Meant to be phased out.
Is it a shock collar? Technically yes, but it’s completely optional to use. The Static Module is a separate piece of hardware, and loose leash walking, recall, proximity mode and bark detection all work with, or without it.
Unlike cheap e-collars, DogVibe integrates static correction to fire together with our tone and vibration modules, so you can easily phase out the static module over time.
The Static Module uses electro-stimulation, the same technology used in physical therapy TENS machines. To give you maximum control, we offer over 100 levels of stimulation. At the lowest settings it’s almost impossible to feel. Higher up it feels like a pinch. Higher still, it will certainly get a dog’s attention. That range means you can find the level that’s right for your dog and the circumstance.
- Over 100 levels of stimulation
- A separate module
- Skin-contact sensing tells you in the app whether the prongs are making contact
- Longer prongs included for thick coats
- Fires together with the tone and vibration, so it can be phased out over time
Most training collars give you a remote, a set of buttons, and very little help deciding what to do next. DogVibe takes a different approach.
We teach training in three individual modules:
- Loose-leash walking. The Leash Module does the timing while you do the walking. This is where the common language gets built.
- Recall. A dedicated recall tone is first introduced in a low-distraction setting. With practice, your dog gradually learns to respond in higher-distraction situations.
- Off-leash trust. Proximity mode takes over, and the boundary moves with you wherever you go.
Our in-app how-to videos implement strategies used by professional balanced trainers, so you’re never guessing about what to do next. Each step builds on the one before it.
Fix constant leash pulling
A walk shouldn’t be a tug of war. The leash module catches every single pull, the moment it happens. Teaching loose-leash walking comes down to consistent timing, and that’s exactly what this does.
Build reliable recall
Calling your dog is easy. Knowing they’ll come back when something more interesting shows up is the hard part. DogVibe gives you a dedicated recall tone. Your dog hears it, turns, and comes back. If they ignore it, the correction steps up. The second they turn toward you, all corrections stop and they get paid. Guided in-app training teaches you how to train reliable recall step by step.
A boundary that moves with you, or stays put
Off-leash freedom shouldn’t start with unclipping the leash and hoping. Proximity mode holds your dog within a distance you set, anywhere from 5 to 200 feet, and unlike a fixed geographic fence the zone moves as you move. When your dog approaches the boundary, they get the recall tone, automatically.
Set the remote down and it becomes a fixed zone instead, with a tone your dog can home in on. Campsite, backyard, trailhead.
Quiet the barking and whining that doesn’t need to happen
The collar listens for your dog’s bark, not the neighbor’s. It can tell your dog’s vocalizations apart from the noise around them, whining included, and only responds to your dog’s voice. Inside the app, you have full control over how the collar responds and at what level a correction happens.
The goal isn’t a silent dog. It’s a dog who learns when barking isn’t needed.
We’re building DogVibe with a trusted manufacturing partner who we’ve worked with for years: directly, in person, and on the floor.
The hard engineering is already done:
- Prototypes have been built and tested.
- Tooling is specified.
- Production is ready to start.
What’s left are the processes every hardware product must go through before shipping, including certification, testing, assembly, and importing units into the US. Estimated delivery is spring 2027. Once this campaign ends, we move into production and fulfillment on the final manufacturing schedule. Backers get updates through production, quality control, assembly, packaging, and shipping. Final delivery details are collected in the post-campaign survey.
I got Baloo as a puppy and had no idea what I was doing. I watched every video, tried every tool, and made a lot of mistakes.
Even though I was the VP of Marketing at Woof, the makers of the Pupsicle, I was still having trouble with Baloo out in the real world. What eventually clicked was that training is not about gear. It comes down to timing, consistency, and a system you can follow. But every collar I tried came with a remote and no instructions, and none of them helped on the leash, where most of our problems were.
DogVibe is the system and product I wish had existed when I started.
