ApartmentGuide.com asked for our input on tips to help your dog transition when moving.
“There can be lots of new noises when moving to a new apartment and those noises can cause excessive barking,” explains Erick Eidus, CEO of PupPod, an enrichment game for dogs. “Try playing relaxing music when you leave or use an enrichment game to keep your dog busy and tire them out mentally. Some games can even be controlled remotely when you’re away from home or used to keep your dog busy when you’re unpacking.”

🐾🇺🇸 Happy Independence Day from Puppod! 🎆🐶
Today, as we celebrate the birth of our great nation, we at Puppod want to take a moment to appreciate the freedom and joy that our furry friends bring into our lives. 🐾❤️
Independence Day is a time of celebration, but it can also be a challenging day for many dogs who struggle with loud noises like fireworks. That's why we're proud to offer a unique solution to help desensitize dogs to these sounds and make their experience more enjoyable.
With Puppod's innovative noise option, we've designed a special feature to help dogs gradually become accustomed to the sounds of fireworks. By providing a controlled and safe environment, we can help our beloved companions build confidence and overcome their fears. 🎇
Today, as we revel in the spirit of freedom and unity, let's not forget our loyal canine companions who bring happiness and unconditional love into our lives. Puppod is dedicated to making every day a joyful and worry-free experience for our furry friends, and we're proud to be a part of their journey.
Wishing you and your four-legged family members a safe, joyful, and tail-wagging Independence Day! 🐾🇺🇸

Imagine someone plopped a strange object in front of you that you’d never seen before. What would you do? Some people might immediately pick it up and try to figure out what it was, while others might sit back and wait for instruction.
That’s because we’re all individuals and learn in different ways. And our dogs are exactly the same. While some dogs immediately “get” how the PupPod works, others need a little more encouragement and help.
If your dog doesn’t interact with the PupPod right away, don’t worry. We just have to make the connection that toy = treat and then it’s off to the races!
Here are a few tips to get you started on your way to PupPod success.

Puppod is a unique interactive toy that can provide a range of benefits for both dogs and their owners. One key benefit that stands out is how Puppod can help dog owners provide mental stimulation for their furry friends.
Mental stimulation is an essential aspect of a dog's overall well-being. Dogs are highly intelligent animals, and they require mental exercise just as much as they need physical exercise. However, many pet owners struggle to provide their dogs with enough mental stimulation, which can lead to boredom, anxiety, and destructive behaviors.
This is where Puppod comes in. Puppod is an interactive toy that allows the owners to customize the level of difficulty and track their dog's progress.
One of the great things about Puppod is that it involves problem-solving, memory, and concentration. This variety can help keep dogs engaged and prevent them from getting bored.

“First off, Oliver loved it from day one, and played with it for an hour the first night we had it. Over the years, he's developed general anxiety, separation anxiety and behavior challenges such as barking, marking, and obedience issues. We love the camera so we can interact with him when we’re away. This has helped reduce his separation anxiety. By having an outlet for his energy and consistently focusing his brain, PupPod has made life more enjoyable and less stressful for Oliver and us.”

Secondly, Oliver had to have major knee surgery that required physical activity restrictions and controlled exercises. We were able to use the puppod to provide just the right amount of activity during his recovery. We gradually set the puppod toy further and further away from the dispenser as he healed.”

Our Story
What does it take to keep dogs happy, active and engaged -- all the way from puppyhood to golden oldie?
This was the question that popped into the head of PupPod CEO and co-founder, Erick Eidus, while observing his dog, Puccini. Like many dogs, Puccini loved to watch TV and it was clear that he was fascinated by the images and sounds. More than that, though, he seemed to really understand and differentiate between different situations and individuals. For example, he only barked at the TV whenever a dog appeared. And he could even tell the difference between a cartoon dog and other cartoon characters.
As a devoted dog dad, Erick loved watching how entertained and engaged Puccini was while watching TV. And it made him start wondering about the other types of things that dogs might be interested in doing and learning. Human beings pursue all kinds of personal interests and hobbies; but what about the dogs we love? Shouldn’t they also have opportunities to learn and grow?
From Smartphones to Smart Toys
Erick took his question one step further and tried to put himself in Puccini’s paws. If a dog could invent a product for learning and entertainment, what would it look and sound like?
Luckily for dogs everywhere, Erick was in a unique position to not only answer this question but create the product! In the early 90s, when pagers were common and cell phones were analog, Erick was working on the world’s first wireless handheld computer, which led to a career building the first generation of smartphones.
Computers and smartphones have enabled humans to experience things that were unimaginable 20 years ago. So, Erick wondered, why couldn’t we develop smart toys that gave dogs the same types of opportunities?
Creating Happier, Healthier Dogs
Wanting to dig deeper into the workings of the doggie brain, Erick discovered mountains of research that explained how dogs learn and why it’s so important to keep their minds active and engaged.
He learned about operant conditioning, classical conditioning and clicker training. He learned that dogs were domesticated thousands of years ago to help humans do jobs, and that most dogs -- even so-called lap dogs -- still thrive on having “work” to do. He learned that providing ongoing mental challenges can help keep dogs sharp well into their senior years. And he learned that today’s dogs are often so bored that they develop problem behaviors, which is the number one reason dogs are surrendered to shelters.
It was by combining this newfound knowledge with his personal observations and professional background that PupPod was born.
Since then, PupPod has grown to include a team of dedicated professionals whose mission it is to create healthier, happier dogs by enriching their lives with fun, exciting, high-tech toys.
After all, dogs give us their best. They deserve our best in return!
