Our Origin
In 2025, after graduating and starting full-time work, we began to feel the weight of leaving Crème home alone for long hours.
She had become part of our daily rhythm. We had seen how much routine and structured engagement improved her confidence and overall wellbeing. Simply checking in through a camera did not feel like enough.
Dogs do not just need to be watched. They need to feel engaged.
We started asking simple questions. What would it look like if enrichment was built into everyday life? What if mental stimulation could be consistent, interactive, and intentional, even when we were not home?
The more we talked about it, the clearer the gap became. Most pet technology is reactive. We wanted something proactive.
That is where The Anxious Dog began.
Why We're Building
We are building The Anxious Dog™ by TAD Labs because we believe enrichment should be easier to do well.
We believe dogs deserve more than occasional stimulation or passive monitoring. They deserve structure, challenge, and moments of engagement that strengthen the bond they share with us.
Crème is still our first tester. Every feature we imagine starts with one question: would this make her day better?
What began as a personal frustration has grown into a long-term commitment to improving how dogs experience time at home.
