About This Project

DogVibe integrates a Bluetooth-enabled training collar, a leash module that auto-corrects pulling, a long-range remote for off-leash control up to three-quarters of a mile, and an app that manages settings and multiple dogs. The system uses ultrasonic tones, vibration, and optional static correction (with over 100 levels) to communicate consistently with your dog. Built by Miles Pepper after training his own dog, the project aims to replace inconsistent training methods with a reliable, unified approach. Estimated delivery is spring 2027, with production ready after certification and fulfillment.

Key Highlights

 ▸ All-in-one system: collar, leash module, long-range remote, and app work together for seamless training. 

 ▸ Ultrasonic tone and vibration with optional static correction (100+ levels) for customizable, humane feedback. 

 ▸ Long-range remote offers up to 3/4 mile recall and proximity mode for off-leash control and moving boundaries.
