See progressβnot only hard moments. TriggerPath is a private journal for owners of reactive dogs. Log each exposure in seconds, including calm passes, then review patterns across triggers, distance, response and recovery. TRACK THE WHOLE WALK An incident count can be misleading. A week with fewer reactions may simply mean fewer encounters. TriggerPath records calm and recoverable exposures alongside harder moments, so your progress has context. LOG IN FOUR TAPS Choose: β’ The trigger β’ Closest distance β’ Observed response β’ Time to settle Sensible defaults and large touch targets make logging practical during a real walk. NOTICE USEFUL PATTERNS Review: β’ Calm or recoverable exposure rate β’ Total exposure volume β’ Average recovery time β’ Trigger-specific patterns β’ 7-, 28- and 90-day trends BRING A BETTER TRAINER REPORT Create a clear 28-day PDF with summary metrics, trigger patterns and recent exposure rows. You decide when and how to share it.

Some days your dog is fine. Other days it's the same street, the same dog across the road, and everything falls apart. It rarely feels like there was a reason. There usually is. It's just spread across three days instead of one. CalmDogs is a log built for reactive dogs. You note what happened β the trigger, how they reacted, how long they took to settle β and the app keeps the running picture you can't hold in your head. A vet visit on Tuesday, fireworks on Wednesday, a bad night's sleep, and Thursday's walk was never going to go well. WHAT YOU GET - A read each morning. One line on what today can hold, before you head out. - Your dog's own pattern β which triggers matter, where they happen, and at what time of day. - Progress you can actually see. Recovery speed usually moves before anything else, and how often it happens usually moves last. That means you can see change weeks before it starts to look like change. - A training path built around what you logged, with exercises that fit into a normal walk. WHAT IT ISN'T It isn't a cure, and it doesn't treat your dog as a problem to be fixed. It won't tell you how far away to stand β nobody can know that from a phone. And it doesn't replace a good trainer or your vet. If you tell it about a bite history when you set up your dog's profile, the app says so plainly and points you towards a professional β before you're ever asked to subscribe. Built for the walk you're dreading tomorrow. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
