K9Link · Screen walkthrough

Choose your language

Choose a language before phone permissions. English illustrates the device-language preselection; the walkthrough itself remains in English.

Choose what to enable

After choosing the app language, review which phone permissions K9Link uses. No account or Internet connection is needed.

Find your collar

Look for nearby collar setup networks with names starting with k9link_. No Bluetooth, home Wi-Fi or Internet is needed.

Collar setup Wi-Fi

Supply the setup credentials for the selected collar, then approve joining its Wi-Fi.

Your dog

Add your dog’s details and shape its sound. Default command tones are assigned automatically once per dog.

Your dogs

See your dogs and finish configuring their collars. Adding a dog includes connecting its collar.

Top bar

See collar status and open Controls to change recording, listening, AI and audio.

The OS row shows your phone’s time, network and battery. Compact icons on the left of the K9Link bar show collar status and open Controls. Two separate arrows at the far right switch profile screens directly.

Top bar · left to right

Settings: Edit dogs, profiles and app options.
Profiles: Choose another profile, such as Default or Training.
Connection: Open collar connection settings. Teal: online; red: offline; amber: paused or waiting.
Collar batteries: A named percentage for each dog. Last means the reading is stale; — means no reading. This is separate from your phone’s OS battery indicator.
Recording: In Controls, use the Recording switch to start or stop saving without another confirmation. Filled red: saving; outline: stopped. Live viewing and tracking continue.
Command listening: In Controls, use the Command listening switch for “Rex, sit”. Highlighted mic: listening; crossed-out mic: off. Running logic is not cancelled.
AI: In Controls, open AI to choose optional collar or phone video and press Start. Highlighted: active. Stop AI ends the session. Replies use the phone’s speaker or headphones.
Collar audio: First in Controls: On allows collar headphones and speaker playback. Off stops playback and blocks further collar audio. Recording, tracking and AI phone replies continue.
Previous screen: The separate left arrow at the far right goes to the previous screen in this profile. It is faded and disabled on the first screen.
Next screen: The separate right arrow goes to the next screen in this profile. It is faded and disabled on the last screen. The number between the arrows shows your position.
