For the most important training needs—like puppy stuff, leash walking, or all-around training help—we've redesigned how they're organized, so now you can go start to finish in one expertly sequenced program.

It's always been too difficult to share training content from Harper. "Go to Discover, and the third course in the second section has just the game you and your pup should play." Woof.
Fortunately, now sharing is effortless. Tap the share button on any course, game, or article to send it to your fellow dog parents. It doesn't matter whether they're a member or are new to Harper. They'll be able to check it out with their pup right away.
Bug Fixes & Polish

Keeping track of your dog training progress is super important for building a habit that gets results.
Not everything you do with your dogs though is perfectly aligned with a game in Harper. That's why, now, when you log a session, you can search and select a general dog training skill. These are the fundamental abilities that our games and courses have been designed to strengthen, so it's just as important to keep track of your progress there.
Since we've been using this ourselves, it's really increased how often we log our own sessions. That's been great news for our training habits and our progress with our pups.

• Fixed: The times shown for sessions in your Moments feed were wrong. Unfortunately, someone wasn't secretly training your dog for you. They were just displayed in the wrong time zone.
