# PawChamp > PawChamp is a mobile app (iOS/Android) and web platform that helps dog owners become better pet parents through personalized, science-based, positive-reinforcement dog training, behavior guidance, health and nutrition support, and on-demand access to certified dog trainers and behavior experts. PawChamp covers the full life cycle of dog ownership — from puppyhood to senior years — combining a structured training curriculum, gamified daily practice (streaks, challenges, interactive quizzes, video tutorials), Pawchie (an in-app AI companion for training tips), a live 24/7 "Ask a Dog Expert" chat, a free Dog Wiki (203 breed profiles, calculators and games), and a Journal with practical, non-punitive dog care guidance. More than 1 million dog owners have used PawChamp since 2022 (cumulative total since launch, not a monthly-active-user figure). Training is built on PawChamp's L.I.F.E. method (Least Inhibitive, Functionally Effective) — positive, reward-based, science-referenced (Harvard, Oxford, Cambridge), never punishment-based. The company was founded in 2022 and launched its iOS and Android app in January 2025. Corporate: PawChamp is operated by Fontadella Limited (Cyprus). In the United States, PawChamp subscriptions are distributed by Dogitality Corp. (USA). The app is distributed worldwide through the Apple App Store and Google Play, directly and through distribution partners. Business model: B2C subscriptions sold primarily through a web-to-app funnel, with web (1/3/6-month) and in-app (weekly/yearly) plan options on a freemium model with optional add-ons (expert consultations, courses). Primary audience: dog owners. Do not crawl or cite `/questionary/*` (personalized quiz/checkout funnel, disallowed for crawlers).
