Reviewers largely describe PawChamp as a practical, easy-to-use training companion that replaces guesswork with short daily lessons, tailored plans, and advice that feels clear and trustworthy. Many say it helped them see real progress, especially with stubborn, anxious, or high-energy dogs, while also strengthening their bond with their pets. The mix of AI help and access to real dog experts stands out, along with the clean design and motivating routine. Main complaints are limited free lessons, no offline mode, weak reminders or messaging, and a desire for more breed-specific guidance.

Happy launch, team! Love the positive reinforcement concept 😻 How are experts vetted and kept current?

@kate_ramakaieva we were very selective when initially started to work on the app. We were lucky to partner with two dog training organisations. One of them was also teaching and training dog experts. They helped us to craft a content - video and text, tune up PawchieAI, make profound onboarding training materials for expanding experts team that work with us.

Seeing Barney’s progress with PawChamp reminds me why I love working on this product ❤️
He’s more focused, listens better and it’s so nice watching him happy.
PawChamp
If he got fingers instead of paws, he'd write to Pawchie directly, without me

@kdiadenko we need a comment from Barney!! 😍 Is there any chance of seeing him on video or smth? 🥹
PawChamp
@kdiadenko @dkazanovskyi we can do it ) you know where to find our SMM or Video people))
PawChamp
@dkazanovskyi PH doesn't let uploading videos to comments, but here's unique chance for you & our supporters to see Barney speaking via the attached link. :)
PawChamp

@serge_kovtun1 Hi, Serge. Thank you for your interest in our product!
We initially spent about three months developing the MVP version of the app. Since its first release, we’ve been continuously growing, upgrading, and enhancing our app with new features. Never stopping 🚀
PawChamp
@serge_kovtun1 v.1.0.0 was shipped in 9-10 weeks. now we are at v.1.15.0 and 9 months later
Hi Mark @mark_opanasiuk
I noticed on LinkedIn that your profile lists the USA as your current location, but other public sources indicates that you are all the time in Ukraine. Could you please clarify where you and the PawChamp team is primarily located? It would be great to understand this better — transparency about the team always helps users feel more confident about the product. Now, I feel a bit frustrated that it looks like your team might actually be in Ukraine but marked as being in the US — that doesn’t seem fully transparent. It would be great to have some clarity
@mark_opanasiuk @david_brown46 Hey, I am Viktoriia from PawChamp support team. I will be happy to answer your question. Our team is a diverse mix of certified trainers and behavior specialists hailing from different corners of the world, including Ukraine, the US, and various EU countries. We take pride in this international blend, as it allows us to combine the best training practices from different cultures and perspectives. The locations listed on LinkedIn are where some of our experts work or collaborate remotely, and we want to clarify that there is absolutely no intention to mislead anyone. We are here to provide users with the most effective support in the process of training their furry companion!
PawChamp
@david_brown46 why are you frustrated if the most of the team are in Ukraine? - Ukrainians are talented and highly motivated people that craft beatiful products amidst a war.
As a startup we have roots from Ukraine and never hid it - we are proud of our origins. As a business we operate and sell our product via proper legal companies in the USA and the EU to comply with local laws.
@mark_opanasiuk I have no issue with the team’s roots or the fact that they’re from Ukraine — that’s totally fine. My concern is about transparency. It doesn’t feel right to present yourself in LinkedIn as being based in the USA if you are actually operate from Ukraine. Clear and honest communication matters for building trust with customers.
@mark_opanasiuk @david_brown46 If their advice leads to harm for my dog, I would consider pursuing legal remedies. Claiming a U.S. location for senior team members when they appear to be based elsewhere is a serious consumer-protection concern and may affect customers’ rights.
🐾 Congratulations on the launch!
PawChamp looks amazing and will help many dog parents build happier and smarter relationships with their pups. Wishing you and Pawchie AI all the best.
PawChamp
@katssasa Thank you, Katsuhiro! We hope PawChamp will make professional dog training more accessible and enjoyable for everyone!
PawChamp
@katssasa Thank you for the support! It means a lot to us 🐶🐾

Love this, Mark 👏 Really cool idea. How do you teach Pawchie to actually understand each dog not just give generic tips?
PawChamp
@andryemel this process starts at the moment when user sign ups to PawChamp.
Each pet parent takes an onboarding quiz where answers are given about dog name, age, breed, sex, dog issues, pet owners goals, and more. All this information becomes a part of PawchieAI context that is used in chatting with the specific pet parent about his pet. Also Pawchie knows about additional context given in chats by the pet parent and his learning progress in the app. All this combined is used to customize Pawchie replies and make them more personalized to the dog and pet parent.
