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.

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/
