For dogs with separation anxiety

Your old phone becomes a smart dog cam that tells you when to come back.

Back Soon listens for barking, whining and howling while you're out, and alerts you before your dog panics. Each day, a personalized plan builds a little more calm-alone time.

See how it works

No new hardware. Works with any old iPhone, iPad or Android as the dog cam.

of guessing. You see what your dog does while you're gone — not what you hope they do.

How it works

Two phones. Five minutes a day.

Set up your dog cam

Place an old phone or tablet where your dog waits. Scan a QR code to pair it with your phone. That's it.

Leave — just a little

Your plan tells you how long to step out today. Sometimes it's 20 seconds. That's the point: stay below your dog's limit.

Come back at the right moment

If the dog cam hears signs of stress, you get an alert to head back. Tomorrow's plan adjusts automatically.

Our approach

Not "tough it out." Never get scared in the first place.

The goal isn't for your dog to endure anxiety — it's to keep every practice absence below the point where anxiety starts, and grow calm-alone time gradually. That's only possible if you can tell when your dog is getting uneasy. Back Soon can.

Your plan

From seconds to a full workday, one calm step at a time.

Stage 1

Getting started

Find your dog's starting point: how long they stay calm today.

Stage 2

Building calm

Short absences, desensitizing keys-and-coat cues, calm in another room.

Stage 3

Real life

Longer, real-world absences once short ones are consistently calm.

Stage 4

Maintenance

Light practice to keep the progress you've built.

Why Back Soon

Training apps can't see your dog. Pet cams don't train.

Questions

What do I need?

Your iPhone, plus any old phone or tablet (iPhone, iPad or Android) to use as the dog cam. It stays plugged in and pointed at the spot where your dog waits.

Does it record or upload audio from my home?

No. Sounds are analyzed on the dog cam itself. Only the result — for example "barking detected at 2:14" — is sent to your phone.

How long until my dog can stay alone for a workday?

It depends on your dog. Some progress in weeks, others take months. The plan moves at your dog's pace, and you'll see every bit of progress in your charts.

Is this a replacement for a vet or a trainer?

No. Back Soon helps you practice consistently and see what's really happening. If your dog hurts themselves, stops eating when alone, or gets worse, please talk to your veterinarian. You can share your progress data with a trainer anytime.
