Dog training plays a crucial role in the development and mental balance of your beloved four-legged friend.
From an early age, you can gently train your puppy to learn the basics of education. These are important notions to facilitate your daily cohabitation and enable him to feel at ease in all everyday situations.
A way to avoid the appearance of behavioral problems, sometimes difficult to correct.
Using a tool like the Kippy DOG is an invaluable aid to training your dog. The ultra-precise GPS function lets you monitor your pet’s comings and goings, while the activity monitor lets you track your dog’s movements and behavior.
But to better understand, here’s why the Kippy DOG is probably the device you’ve been looking for to ensure your dog’s safety, education and mental and physical well-being in a simple and effective way.

The importance of training for your dog’s well-being
By educating your beloved four-legged companion, you’ll be able to take him with you wherever you go.
This is a definite advantage not only for you, but also for your dog, who will not only be delighted to be by your side at all times, but will not be stressed by the slightest change of environment. A way of contributing to his daily well-being.
Dog training is possible at any age, even if it’s true that puppies are much easier to train than adult dogs with well-established habits!
But everything is possible. Even if training an adult dog takes longer, it’s not an impossible challenge. With patience, kindness and positive training, you can teach your dog how to behave around you. For this training to be effective and long-lasting, it must be done in the form of games with rewards. This is a fun way of making him understand what you expect of him (which is not easy for a dog!). All this time spent together reinforces the relationship you have with your beloved companion, and thus your mutual trust.
Why is educating your dog so important, and what are the benefits?
- A healthy body in a healthy mind. When a dog learns something new, it not only acquires useful knowledge for maintaining a good relationship with its owner and fellow dogs, but also reaps physical and mental benefits. Exercise helps keep the animal in good health, while mental stimulation alleviates stress-related problems.
- Better socialization. Getting on well with the humans they meet, as well as other dogs, is essential to your dog’s well-being, and also to the serenity of your walks together. But not all dogs are socialized in the same way (most socialization takes place in the first 2 months, when the animal is not yet with you). So you need to be attentive to your dog’s reactions and respect his rhythm, without forcing him. When your dog comes into contact with other people or animals, he should enjoy doing so. So be sure to introduce him to calm, friendly people. Don’t hesitate to reassure him, praise him and even give him a few treats so that this moment is identified as positive.
- Strengthening the bond between dog and owner. Training your dog means taking the time to teach him basic commands, tricks, new skills and so on. These moments spent together (with positive training) will only strengthen your relationship. Moments of pleasure shared with your dog are a decisive factor in the trust he’ll place in you.
Training your dog with kindness is therefore essential for his well-being and to facilitate your daily life together.
Kippy DOG: a technological ally for training
Your dog’s health and safety go hand in hand.
Working on recall is essential to prevent your dog from exposing himself to dangerous situations or getting lost. In the end, a good recall means peace of mind during walks.
But sometimes that’s not enough. Sometimes instinct is stronger. A frightening noise like fireworks, the sight of another dog or even a cat can be enough to make your dog forget all he’s learned. The animal runs away, covering miles in search of “prey” or a place where it feels safe. As a result, many dogs get lost every year.
Fortunately, there are now pet tracking devices on the market, like the Kippy DOG. It offers both a GPS function to track your pet’s movements, and an “activity monitor” function capable of counting the number of steps your dog takes, the time he spends running, sleeping, and so on. A concentrate of technology in a small, extremely lightweight device (29.6 grams), easy to wear as it attaches with Velcro to any type of collar or harness.

The Kippy dog GPS system is the ideal tool for your dog’s training, enabling you to keep a detailed track of your dog’s activities, especially to make sure he’s getting enough exercise.
GPS for dog training
To educate your dog, you can use books on (positive) dog training or call on the services of professionals. But how can a GPS help?
The main use of a GPS in dog training is its location system. Indeed, one of the first things you have to teach your dog is recall. But before your dog understands that when you call him, it means you want him to come back to your side, even if he’s sniffed out some exciting scents, it may take some time. While for some dogs, it’s almost as if they’re born with it, for others, it’s hard work.
So to make sure you never lose sight of your pet, a GPS on your pet’s harness or collar proves to be a real asset during your beloved companion’s training sessions.
For a GPS to be useful and practical, it must never interfere with your pet’s movements. Like the Kippy DOG, it must be small and lightweight. But the Kippy DOG offers other significant advantages:
- The latest-generation GNSS module for ultra-precise, reliable satellite tracking. It uses the GPS, Galileo and Glonass systems.
- The presence of innovative LTE Cat-M technology , optimized for IoT devices, which supports frequent data exchanges in devices that have it. It operates without distance limit throughout Europe, connecting to the 4G LTE Cat-M network. Added to this is the presence of the 2G network, used for backup, but also to ensure coverage in areas not covered by LTE.
- Anenergy-saving system guarantees long, efficient operation. The battery can last up to 10 days.
Thanks to precise tracking at all times, you can devote yourself to your dog’s training with peace of mind.

FAQ
How many types of dog training are there?
The word “training” isn’t really used anymore, we prefer the term “education”. For an education that lasts over time and ensures a good relationship with your pet, we use positive training methods. The idea is to reward the animal when it does what is expected of it, and to ignore “bad” behavior.
What is dog shaping?
The aim of shaping is to gradually lead your dog to adopt a new behavior. The new behavior is broken down into several stages, and the animal is rewarded as soon as it approaches the new behavior. For example, we want the dog to go around the table. We reward him as soon as he sets off in the direction of the table, as soon as he starts to go around it, etc.
How can I make my dog understand that he’s wrong?
As soon as he’s a puppy, around 2 to 4 months old, you can get your dog used to the notion of “no”. To make him understand that he has not acted as you would have wished, you can use the “no” associated with a closed gaze (dogs read our expressions perfectly). With time, and a lot of repetition, your puppy will understand that he shouldn’t do this or that. However, this doesn’t mean he understands why, or even that it’s “nonsense”. He’ll simply understand that you don’t want him to do it.
