Zigzag is a puppy training app that aims to work alongside puppy classes. It provides personalised tailored lessons, a training journey, articles and puppy coaches as well as an AI chat feature to help you with all your training woes.
We understand that the view rate is the first ten seconds, so we want to initially capture that shock factor and humour. Everything will be done through facial expressions, we won’t actually see anything graphic. We want to set the scene of the puppy parent walking around blissfully, minding their own business then suddenly they stop, their face starts to look more and more shocked as they slowly look down, then they start to look back up again slowly and they are greeted with a smiling puppy sat in front of them! We want the tension to build and build and build then SHHHHH.
There has been NO DIALOGUE up until this point then the puppy parent will go ‘Shhhhhh’ then it will cut to ‘Should have downloaded Zigzag’!
Then go on to talk about the app, the training modules and puppy coaches etc, show the puppy going through toilet training lessons etc. Please refer to our Profile section for talking points!
Then cut back to the puppy parent, almost like this scene from Spider man where they are walking down the street with supreme confidence but it is just them walking around their house with socks on not having to look at the landmine that is the floor. Their pup is nodding on in approval from outside where they are doing the toilet!

Zigzag is a puppy training app on a mission to make training enjoyable and accessible for everyone. New puppy parents love their pup for the joy they bring - not the work! We believe a well-trained pup isn't an overnight success, but an imperfect journey with plenty of ups and downs along the way. The Zigzag app offers a tailored training plan based on pup's breed and age as well as 24/7 instant chat with certified trainers for any problem - no matter how big or small. We're 100% dedicated to puppyhood - the critical development window to help pups master key lifeskills. All of our training programmes are based on positive reinforcement methods - see zigzag.dog/about for more details.

Honest: we don't claim having a puppy is easy, but we do say we'll get there, together. We always explain what's happening and why. Playful: our brand highlights the humorous side of having a puppy and getting to know one another. And it's often the imperfections that are worth a laugh. Motivating: our brand is positive and encouraging of the progress and efforts, not just the results. If you're doing training, your doing good. TOV should come across honest, witty, empathetic, encouraging, and casual.
