Skjöldr K9 · Trainer Evaluation Program

Pocket Field Coach

Calm mind. Strong body. Safe home.

A dog-training app that lives entirely on the handler's phone — five-step field drills, honest session records, and training clips. When a handler gets stuck, the app points them to a nearby trainer. That trainer could be you.

DOWNLOAD THE APP (APK) v0.7.0 · Android 8.0+ · direct download, no store

Free for evaluating trainers. Everything stays on the phone — no account, no uploads.

Why trainers

Be the pro nearby when they need one

Handlers work the basics on their own. When they can't get past a skill, the app has them record their sessions and send the evidence to a nearby trainer — summary and clips, straight from their phone to yours.

Handlers self-serve the basics

Loose-lead walking, recall, calm greeting, neutral check-in, emergency U-turn — each a five-step drill with honest YES / NOT YET logging.

Stuck handlers send you proof

One tap shares a session summary plus up to three recent training clips by text or email. You see exactly where they're failing before you ever meet.

You convert them to clients

You arrive already knowing the dog, the handler, and the sticking point. Short diagnosis, paid session, repeat business in your service area.
