About Companion

Companion creates technology that simplifies how owners interact with and train their dogs. Companion's proprietary technology communicates with dogs through audio, and 3D sensing systems detect and analyze the dog's movement and behaviors. With machine learning, it can adapt in real-time, calculating the best way to engage with a dog. Companion rewards the dog for desired behaviors such as sit, down, stay, and recall using positive reinforcement techniques and proprietary data and algorithms.
