Quick Start

From zero to your first scored walk in about ten minutes — plus however long the walk takes, which is up to your dog.

Get the app

iPhone: install Doggo 108 from the App Store. Android: we're not there yet — join the waitlist and we'll tell you (and your dog) when the beta opens.

Create your account

Open the app, tap Register, give us an email, a password, your name, and — most importantly — your dog's name. That's it, you're both in.

Check today's shape

Open the menu (top-left) and tap Dashboard. The top of the page shows this week's challenge — five days, one shape per day. Today's shape is either Out-and-Back, Single Loop, or Figure-of-Eight. Brief your dog accordingly.

Plan your walk

Pick a route that matches today's shape. Out-and-back is the easiest — walk somewhere, turn around, walk back. Single loop wants you to circle a park or block. Figure-of-eight needs a route with two distinct loops and a crossing point. Your dog will have opinions about the route; you can negotiate.

Tap Start

Back on the app's main screen, tap the big green button. Allow location access if asked. Lock your screen, then put your phone in your pocket or bag — the app keeps recording quietly in the background. Both hands free for the lead.

Walk the dog

Walk the shape you planned. At least 200 metres, finishing within 50 metres of where you started. Let the dog stop for the good sniffs; the algorithm doesn't mind a pause.

Tap Stop, then Upload

When you and your dog are back to where you started, tap Stop, then tap Upload. Treat optional but recommended.

See your result

Open the menu → Dashboard. Today's cell turns green if you and your dog matched the shape (+10 points). Walk again tomorrow — it's a new shape, a new chance.

Tips for your first walk

Finish where you started. Doggo 108 needs you to close the loop — within 50 metres of your starting point — otherwise the walk doesn't register. Your dog will appreciate the consistency anyway.
Walk at least 200 metres. Shorter walks are rejected automatically (your dog will probably want more than that).
Lock the screen, then pocket the phone. The app keeps recording in the background. No need to babysit the screen — pay attention to the dog instead.
Don't worry about being precise. The algorithm is forgiving — your shape doesn't need to be perfect. (Dogs aren't precise either.)
The first walk is just for fun. Even if today's shape doesn't quite match what you walked, you've started. The dog had a good time either way.
