Getting Started

Mark It is a web app — no download or app store required. Just open it in your browser on any device.

Open the app and tap "Sign Up." Create an account with your email and a password. Your data syncs to the cloud, so you can pick up where you left off across any device.

If you forget your password, tap "Forgot Password" on the login screen. You'll receive a reset link via email that takes you right back to the app.

After signing in, you'll land on the Dog Select screen. Tap "Add Dog" and walk through the guided wizard — name, breed, age, and biological details. You can upload a profile photo from your camera or gallery.

Mark It supports multiple dogs and team-based ownership — you can invite other handlers to share a dog's training data.

Commands can be added directly through your dog's Progression view or by browsing the shared Library. Pro and Plus users also have the ability to create their own custom commands with personalized metric blueprints.

The Library contains three main types of tracking items:

• Actions — Standard obedience commands like Sit, Stay, Down, Come, Heel, Place.
• Behaviors — Undesirable behaviors you want to track, manage, and reduce, such as Jumping, Pulling, Barking, or Reactivity. Behavioral metrics focus on frequency, intensity, and management success.
• Markers — Conditioned reinforcers like Clicker, Verbal Marker, Bridge Signal.

Each action command has a priority level (Focus, Rotation, Casual, Maintenance, or Shelved) and tracks progression through the four stages of learning:

Head to the Sessions view and start a new session. You can stack multiple commands, run the built-in timer, and track metrics inline. After your session:

• Commands — Add commands to the session list to track what you worked on.
• Timer — An integrated timer tracks your session duration automatically.
• Notes — Add optional free-text notes for anything worth remembering, like environment conditions or breakthrough moments.

You can log standalone assessments in the Assessments view. While sessions represent general training time, assessments record detailed, phase-specific metrics for a single command at a time.

These metrics feed directly into the progression system, determining when a command is ready to advance to the next stage of learning based on its blueprint requirements.

Your dashboard gives you a bird's-eye view of your dog's training state:

• Training Activity — A grid showing session and assessment counts across five time periods (today, this week, this month, this year, all time) plus average session duration.
• Decaying Items — Shows how many days since each skill was last trained, flagging overdue items. Filterable by priority level to ensure Focus commands don't slip.
• Trainer Footprint — A donut chart showing each handler's contribution to the dog's training.
• Training Heatmap — Calendar-style visualization of your training consistency over time.

Mark It is built for collaboration. Use the Teams feature to invite family members, co-owners, or professional trainers to access a dog's profile.

Every session and assessment is attributed to the handler who logged it, ensuring you always know who trained what, and when. The Trainer Footprint on the dashboard breaks down the exact distribution of effort.

Keep your dog's data organized with built-in management features:

• Pet Profile & Weight Log — Manage your dog's core details and track their weight changes over time to monitor health and growth.
• Changing Pets — Easily switch between different dogs from the top navigation bar at any time.

Mark It provides several live-training tools to help during sessions:

• Timer — Track session duration precisely so you don't overwork your dog.
• Success Tracker — Tap to log successful vs. failed repetitions quickly.
• Video Playback — Record clips with a delayed feed to review your mechanics without touching your phone.

Taking your dog hiking or out of service range? Mark It supports robust offline functionality. You can log sessions and assessments without an internet connection, and they will automatically sync to the cloud once you're back online.
