Project Overview
Pooch Pacer is the innovative accessory made to bring harmony back to your walks. It identifies when your dog is pulling on their leash, emits a small beep just loud enough for you and your dog to hear, and reminds you both to reset and readjust. You dog will learn in no time to walk by your side, so you can enjoy stress-free, peaceful walks.
And best of all: Pooch Pacer is completely harmless.
We recognize the need for a device which combines harmless, gentle auditory cues with automation and positive reinforcement, and that's why we created Pooch Pacer
Project Deliverables/Scope
Easy to use
Hands Free
Compact
Light weight and strong
Suitable for all dog types
Long-Lasting battery
Project Constraints
The rapid evolution in technology and changes in customer needs and expectations have increased the launching of new products and has made the markets for e-collars highly competitive.
Our competition has continuously been growing with more and more industries introducing products which compete with our product offerings, with most of these industries possessing significantly more resources. than us.
At the current time, the biggest obstacle is cost. Trying to bring the manufacturing cost down by increasing batch size and improving turnaround time.
Potential Risks
Currently working with a prototype, which means there are some tweaks we may need to make, such as the volume of the auditory cues emitted by Pooch Pacer.
Due to COVID-19, manufacturing and shipping times may be extended. We will be completely transparent throughout the entire process, providing many updates.
There is no any sort of instruction guide yet for how to use this to the best effect.
Low investment in R&D than other players, not highly successful at integrating firms with different work culture, limited success outside core business.
Laws and liability claims in different countries, limitation of counterfeit and low-quality product.
