Congrats on the Launch! More of a cat person myself .. so when are you going to launch KittyChamp? ;)

Kostiantyn Diadenko

Haha, love that! 😸

We might need to patent KittyChamp before someone else grabs it! ;)

You’re not the first to ask, turns out the cat community is loud and proud, so we definitely see the demand 🐾

Mark Opanasiuk

@jannik_jung based on the user feedback here this definitely should be prioritized in our backlog! we have animal behaviourist aboard who work with both - dogs and cats. Just did not have capacity to deliver something cool for cat parents.

I have two questions:

  1. How do you ensure the expert‐chats scale without losing the “human touch”?

  2. Will there be region-specific content or training advice (for different dog breeds, local laws/training customs, etc.)?

Wishing you all the best — looking forward to following your progress and seeing how this evolves 🐾

Yuliia Horokhova

@chrishicken Hi Chris! Thanks for your interest in our product and support🌝🙌🏼

Actually, PawChamp app provides 2 ways for our users to receive piece of advice and training tips via chats.

Option 1 - Pawchie AI (a chat model trained on our learning materials and content that was validated by real certified dog trainers. This chat is mainly used to receive quick training tips)

Option 2 - Ask Dog Expert (a chat with real dog experts, which takes a bit more time to reply (3-10 minutes depending on the initial request). Here users can talk to a real expert and discuss the ways to resolve all possible training scenarios and behavior corrections).

So, a human touch is always there for all kinds of complicated training and behavior issues.

Answering your second question, I can say that we always follow law, local and breed pecularities and deliver content applicable for everyone.

E.g. we don’t recommnend giving any medications without prescription (even though it’s possible in some countries to buy them) and suggest reaching out for vet help. Also, if it‘s the lesson about right ammunition, we offer 2 types of units of measurement ( ft/metres). For different dog breeds and ages, we recommend different ways for mental and physical activities so all the dogs are safe 🙌🏼

Chris Hicken

@yuliia_horokhova Thanks for the detailed explanation! That’s super helpful love how you’ve balanced AI speed with real expert guidance

Yuliia Horokhova

@chrishicken thank you 🙏🏼

Mark Opanasiuk

@chrishicken we try to predict our user base growth and daily usage paterts to scale the experts team accordingly and have sufficient experts capacity during day shifts.

Mark Opanasiuk

@chrishicken we try to predict the demand for expers during the day and for the future marketing scale. We are thinking about adding more breed specific content for the most popular breeds. but for now this high customization os covered by Pawchie chats.

And thank you for your support!

Looking forward to using this with my personal humanoid in 2030 😬. Dogs are going to be so obedient and well-mannered soon 🙏 Every dog is going to be Lassie level IQ. Also like for blind dog companions this could be really awesome. Like training blind companion dogs is so expensive atm. Great product niche! congrats on the successful launch! 🚀

Yuliia Horokhova

@sentry_co Thank you, André!

Btw, we have dog body language guidance and descriptions with meaning of different types of barking😅 On the other hand, be sure, dogs already can read your emotions, face expressions, gestures and maybe even read your thoughts 😄

That’s why we recommend to stay calm during the training so everything goes smoothly 🤓

Mark Opanasiuk

@sentry_co we do not offer yet specialized courses for guiding dogs, emotional suport animals, etc. but we this could be possible in the future! thank you for your suppor!

One of the best ideas I’ve seen for dog parents 😍 I’ve always wondered - how do you ensure consistency between human experts and AI tips so they don’t contradict each other?🤔
Kostiantyn Diadenko

Hi Tetiana :)

Both Pawchie AI and Pawchamp Dog Experts rely on the same science-based, positive reinforcement methods — so their advice is always aligned.

One of the difference is speed: Pawchie replies instantly, while our trainers take a little bit longer to give deeper, more personalized solution 🐾

Igor Sorokin

nice! downloaded it now. How is your app different from competitors?

Maksym Kharchenko

@igorsorokinua Most dog training apps either give you generic content or rely on one approach that fits everyone. PawChamp focuses on understanding what each pet parent actually struggles with — whether it’s leash pulling, barking, or separation anxiety — and builds a personalized learning path around that.

We combine three layers:

🐾 AI guidance (Pawchie)

👩‍🏫 Real expert feedback

🎯 Behavior-driven personalization

So instead of random videos or static lessons, PawChamp helps to solve YOUR dog's problems

Yuliia Horokhova

@igorsorokinua Hi-hi, Igor! Thanks for asking.
In addition to the AI-powered tools integrated into the app, all materials are thoroughly reviewed or developed by certified dog trainers, behaviorists, and nutritionists. These experts utilize their extensive knowledge and experience to ensure that the content is accurate, relevant, and effective in addressing various dog training and care needs. This collaborative approach not only enhances the app's credibility but also empowers dog owners with reliable resources to support their furry companions' well-being and development.

Nikita Savchenko

Nice! Will show this to my neighbor dog owner today :)

Maksym Kharchenko

@nikitaeverywhere Thanks, Nikita! Hope your neighbour (and their pup 🐶) will enjoy it — can’t wait to hear their feedback!

Nazar Legeza
Good job!
Kostiantyn Diadenko

Thanks! Our paws just started it's journey on PH:)

@robbins23  thank you a lot 🫶🏻

Mark Opanasiuk

@robbins23 thank you!

Alex Cloudstar

Congrats Mark and team. Love the mix of Pawchie AI, 24/7 expert chats, and science based, positive training. Bite sized lessons fit busy pet parents. My biggest struggle is leash reactivity and calm greetings. Do you have a step by step plan for that? Rooting for PawChamp.

Yuliia Horokhova

@alexcloudstar Hey Alex! Thanks a lot for your support!
You’re so right — leash pulling and reactivity are definitely the biggest challenges for dog owners. Thanks for bringing that up!

We have created specific guidance to address both of these issues, helping our users understand the most effective strategies for managing such behavior. This ensures a more peaceful environment for enjoyable walks and a pleasant experience for guests arriving at your home.

Mark Opanasiuk

@alexcloudstar We have a special course on leash reactivity. Calm greetings are trained in our basic obedience training plan. Also Pawchie and experts are handy and can suggest different options to practice calm walks and greetings for your pup!

Shubham Pratap Singh
