How it works
What a typical day looks like with The Anxious Dog.
The Anxious Dog fits into your dog’s routine quietly and consistently, helping transform alone time into something familiar, engaging, and reassuring.
When you leave
As your day begins, the system is already in place. The TAD Hub stays in your home, ready to support your dog without disrupting their space or routine.
There’s nothing for your dog to “start” or learn in the moment. The environment simply remains familiar.
As your dog settles in
Instead of long stretches of inactivity, the system introduces opportunities for engagement.
Interactive puzzles give your dog something to focus on, encouraging curiosity and problem-solving rather than waiting or pacing. Treat-based rewards reinforce calm, focused behavior.

Throughout the day
You can check in when it feels right.
- View live video
- Speak to your dog through two-way audio
- Start or schedule puzzle sessions
- Dispense rewards remotely
Interaction is available, but never required. The system works whether you’re actively checking in or not.
As patterns form
Over time, the system begins to reflect your dog’s routine.
You may start to notice when your dog is most engaged, when enrichment is most helpful, and how behavior changes across days. These insights help guide how and when you interact.
Over days and weeks
Consistency builds familiarity.
As your dog becomes accustomed to the rhythm of engagement and reward, alone time can begin to feel more predictable and less stressful. Calm behaviors are reinforced, and anxious habits may gradually lessen.
Progress isn’t instant, but it is cumulative.
This is how our treat dispenser will work, except it'll go into a puzzle compartment for the pup to solve and retrieve the treat herself.

The TAD Hub, interactive puzzles, and companion app are designed to work as a single system — supporting your dog quietly in the background while giving you insight and control when you need it.
