Settlepaw or It's OK Pooch?
A separation anxiety trainer by Joakim Simonsen that builds alone-time sessions from your dog's own threshold, adapts after each session, and lets you watch your dog live while you are out. Here is what it does well, how It's OK Pooch differs, and who should pick which, as checked on 2026-10-17.
- Settlepaw: platforms
- iPhone and iPad (iOS and iPadOS 26.5 or later) and Apple Watch, from the App Store. No Settlepaw app found on Google Play US today. No web app.

- App Store US listing and settlepaw.no (USD): $14.99 a month, or $49.99 once for Founder lifetime access (settlepaw.no shows $59.99 struck through). The threshold assessment, pre-departure cue training, first sessions, charts and PDF summary are free, per the App Store listing.
What Settlepaw does well
- A generous free tier: the threshold assessment, departure-cue training, first sessions, progress charts and a PDF for your vet, with the vet path never gated.
- Watch your dog live during a session through a HomeKit camera, a second phone or Apple Watch; video is streamed and not recorded or uploaded. We do not offer a live camera.
- Unlimited shared trainers who each use their own iPhone, with one shared session history. We support one caregiver.
- A lower one-time price than ours ($49.99 against $129.99), and no backend: data syncs through your own iCloud.
How It's OK Pooch differs
- It's OK Pooch covers leash reactivity as well as separation anxiety, in one plan with walk logs for trigger distance and reaction.
- Runs on iPhone, Android and the web.
- Alone-time sessions record time to first worry, and progress charts describe the weekly change in words.
- Vet Link and a PDF report include medication markers, and the Life Planner and Sitter Card help you plan real absences and brief a sitter.
- My Dog's Signals records the warning signs your own dog shows.
