PupPod is a mentally engaging smart dog game with a wobbler toy, an app and a treat dispenser. PupPod is also designed so that it can be used by senior dogs and dogs with injuries or disabilities.
PupPod is a smart dog game with a wobbling shape that rolls around and keeps even the most active dogs entertained. Bored dogs will find ways to entertain themselves by destroying your stuff, and many dogs get anxious when they are left alone for long periods. Dog anxiety leads to misbehavior and even depression. The PupPod interactive dog toy is designed with your dog’s physical and mental health in mind.
PupPod gives you and your pet a fun and engaging smart dog game. PupPod is also designed so that it can be used by senior dogs, deaf dogs and dogs with injuries or disabilities.
The PupPod device is an interactive puzzle game for your dog to play while you’re away. As your dog hears audio commands and sees the light from the PupPod device and figures out how to respond, they are rewarded with a treat from a special dispenser that’s wirelessly connected.

How does PupPod work?
As your dog hears audio commands from the PupPod Wobbler toy and figures out how to respond, he is rewarded with a treat from Pet Tutor, a separate treat dispenser that can be wirelessly connected to the system.
As your pet plays, the smart dog game gets harder and hard, requiring more thought and work in order to win the treat. There are multiple levels and challenges for your doggie to enjoy. When he takes the right action, he gets a few treats or pieces of food. Your dog is constantly challenged and engaged, and his attention span will improve, making behavior training easier as well.
The PupPod comes with three elements:
– Round Petpod Wobbler toy that issues the audio commands – Mobile App to watch your puppy play or even to interact with him. – Pet Tudor tower treat dispenser
Like most interactive dog toy developers PupPod did a lot of research and worked with a board-certified veterinarian behaviorist to create its smart dog game product. Areas they considered:
– addressing mild separation anxiety through behavior modification – turning mealtime into an activity to reduce obesity – providing a low-impact activity for dogs recovering from an injury – making PupPod accessible for blind and deaf canines.
It’s a focus on these last two areas that differentiates it from other interactive dog toys on the market. When you consider competitive dog toys, some are clearly made for more active dogs, whereas PupPod is less aggressive in it’s programmed behavior.

Mobile app
The app tracks the progress your dog makes in the game. Think your dog is smarter than average? You can even compare the progress of your dog to that of your friends’ dogs who also use the PupPod. Pet parents use their smartphone to control the smart dog game, receive progress updates, and share achievements.

Key PupPod Features
Here are the key features:
– Interacts and responds to your dog’s behavior. An accelerometer detects when the toy has been touched, poked or rolled. Motion sensors react to your dog’s movement when they’re nearby or stop for a sniff. The device makes sounds to keep your dog entertained. – Blinking lights. Varying LED light patterns increase the challenge for both hearing and deaf dogs. – Great dog toy for senior or deaf dogs. The combination of lights plus the wobbler device make this a particularly good choice of a doy toy for senior dogs. PupPod priortizes mental challenge over physical challenge. – Multiple levels. As your dog learns over time, increase the game level and make micro adjustments using the “Time Interval” feature. Once your dog starts anticipating the timing of sounds or lights, use the “Mystery Time” setting to randomize the timing – Interactive Treat Dispenser. The PupPod connects to a Pet Tutor treat dispenser which makes it possible for the dog game to work autonomously when you are not home or busy with other tasks.
PupPod is not just a toy, but a tool to help keep our dogs mentally active and physically fit
