TestDog

Prove you can take care of a dog. TestDog is a responsibility trainer. You care for a virtual dog in real time – and find out if you're ready for a real one. No cheating. Your dog lives in real time. You can't fast-forward it – just like a real dog, you have to take care of it when it needs you: feed it within the right windows, walk it, play, and keep it happy. Walks are counted by your phone's pedometer. You actually have to get up and go outside, exactly like with a living dog. Pick your challenge: 3, 30 or 90 days. Master the routine and earn an "I can take care of a pet" certificate – go without paid rescues and it's gold. • Real time – your dog needs you between sessions • Real walks – steps measured by your phone's pedometer • Feeding and walking reminders • Mood, hunger, walks, lives – just like a real dog • An event diary where your dog "talks" to you • A shareable certificate Great for kids and adults thinking about getting a dog. The certificate shows you can handle the routine.
