How do I stop Walk Notifications when my Dog hasn't Walked?

Why Did I Get a Walk Notification When My Dog is Just Chilling? 🐶 💤

Got a notification saying your dog’s been on a walk, but they’re actually curled up on the couch, snoring away? 😴 No worries – it’s not a glitch, it’s just how the walk notifications work! If your dog’s pacing around the house or taking a break between zoomies 🏃‍♂️ 💨, the app might think they’re getting their steps in. Let’s break down how these notifications work and how to turn them off if you’re getting too many “adventures” on the couch.

How Do Walk Notifications Work? 🧐

First things first: the walk notification is triggered when your dog is moving around for more than a minute. But here’s the catch – it’s not just about any movement; it’s specifically tracking walking activity 🚶‍♂️. So, if your dog’s doing laps around the living room, the app might mistake that for a walk, even if your pup hasn’t stepped outside at all. 🤦‍♀️

How to Stop the Notifications (Because Your Dog's Not Going Anywhere) 🛑

We get it – sometimes your dog is just pacing indoors, or maybe they’re not walking at all! If those notifications are starting to feel like overkill, here’s how you can turn them off in just a few steps:

Step 1:

Open the app and head to the “Settings” tab at the bottom ⚙️

Step 2:

Tap on “Manage App Notifications” 📱

Step 3:

Find “Walk Notifications” and toggle it OFF 🔕

And voilà – no more unexpected "walk" alerts when your dog’s just living their best indoor life! 🏡 ✨
