DRIVING FACTORS

Increasing Rate of Pet Adoption and Humanization of Pets to Drive the Market

One of the major driving factors for the global dog training apps market is the increasing rate of pet adoption and the rising trend of pet humanization in most economies around the world. While recent times have seen more and more people opening up to house dogs, the concept of effective training resources is becoming all the more necessary. The dog-training app is an easy alternative and cheap way to train the dogs for novice dog owners who do not have the time or resources for attending an in-person dog training class. The high-quality training demand itself gets propelled by the humanization of pets. Pets nowadays are more like family; hence, it's important to have a well-behaved and happy pet.

Convenience and Cost-Effectiveness of Digital Training Solutions

Another important driving factor is that digital solutions for dog training are convenient and very cost-effective. Unlike with the traditional in-person classes, dog training apps have enabled pet owners to train their dogs in the conveniences of time. It is quite appealing, especially to the hustling pet owner who is not able to attend dog training classes on a regular timetable. Also, the price of an app is a lot more affordable than hiring a trainer for a pet, so an individual goes for such an app to remain cost-effective. The enormous utility of being able to avail expert guidance at a reasonably priced offer has been one of the prime reasons for the growing market for dog training apps.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Limited Effectiveness Compared to In-Person Training

General perception is a major restricting factor in this market: a notion that digital training solutions are lesser in effectivity compared to live, real training. Their apps guide, but they still miss the hands-on approach and personal attention given by a professional trainer. For this reason, some pet owners might naturally be a bit skeptical that these apps could really make a dent in very complex behavioral problems or advanced training goals. This may prove to be a drag on the growth of dog training apps from some owners who really value the face-to-face time that happens with trainers.
