Can I use Duo Training without logging in?
No. The public page explains the feature, but real Duo plans use private pet profiles and stay behind login.
Is Duo Training only for dogs?
No. The idea can support different species, but the app adapts expectations to the pair instead of copying dog-obedience drills.
Is Duo Training an IQPets+ feature?
Duo Training is positioned as an advanced feature. The public IQPets+ page explains how it fits with deeper weekly use.
