A week of enrichment, written for one dog.
Chewing, barking, pacing and pulling are usually needs with nowhere to go. Henry writes seven days of activities that meet them, fitted to your dog and the time you actually have.
Most "bad behaviour" is a need with nowhere to go.
Dogs were bred to search, chase, carry, dig and solve. A walk round the block and a bowl of kibble leave most of that unused, so they find their own outlets.
Chewing the furniture
A mouth and a brain with no job. Food that takes work and things to shred usually fix it.
Usually unmet: ForagingBarking at everything
Too little to process, so every noise becomes the event of the day.
Usually unmet: SensoryEvening zoomies and pacing
Bodies got exercise, brains didn't. Mental work tires a dog in ways a walk can't.
Usually unmet: CognitivePulling on the lead
The walk is the only chance to sniff, so every second counts. Give them sniff time and it eases.
Usually unmet: SensoryDigging up the garden
Terrier and hound instinct, working exactly as designed, just in the wrong place.
Usually unmet: OccupationalClingy, anxious, restless
Low confidence often follows low challenge. Small wins every day build it back.
Usually unmet: CognitiveCalmer evenings
A dog that has used its nose and brain settles instead of patrolling.
Less destruction
Instincts get a proper outlet, so the sofa and shoes stop being one.
Better walks
Less frantic pulling once sniffing isn't rationed to one outing.
Named after a real dog with a real job.
Henry is a Hungarian Vizsla, bred to quarter fields, find birds by scent, point and bring them back. A daily walk wasn't enough. Planning his week around what he was bred to do was, and that plan became this app.
From one name to seven days, in about two minutes.

Breed, age, weight, energy, home, anything to work around, and the time you really have.
Henry does the matching
Unsafe activities are filtered out first. The rest are weighted for instinct, energy and joints, then fitted to your minutes.

A walk covers one need. There are six.
Every week touches all six, and leans toward whatever your dog was bred to do. Pick one to see what it looks like.
Working for food, the way a nose was built to.
Most dogs finish a bowl in under a minute. Scatter it, hide it or wrap it, and the same meal becomes twenty minutes of searching, the job their nose is for.
Leans here: Scent hounds, retrievers, anyone who inhales dinner.New smells, surfaces and sounds to take in.
A dog reads the world mostly through smell. Fresh routes, a long line and permission to sniff are tiring in the best way, and cost the joints almost nothing.
Leans here: Beagles, Bassets, and seniors of every breed.Problems to solve and things to learn.
Five minutes of learning something new tires a dog more than a long walk. Puzzles and shaping games build confidence as well as calm.
Leans here: Poodles, Border Collies, shepherds.Movement that suits their body.
Not just more exercise, the right kind. Henry picks intensity from energy, weight and joints, and drops anything high-impact the moment there is a flag.
Leans here: Terriers, Vizslas, Huskies.Time with you, and with dogs they trust.
Calm handling, training as bonding, a walk beside a known friend. Henry leaves out anything that needs other dogs if yours is reactive.
Leans here: Cavaliers, companion breeds, Labradors.A real job, matched to what the breed was made for.
Herding dogs want something to move, retrievers something to carry, terriers something to dig. Give the instinct a job and it stops inventing one on your sofa.
