Your dog was fine on Tuesday.
Thursday fell apart.

CalmDogs logs what your dog actually met — the trigger, the distance, how long the recovery took — and shows you the week behind the bad walk.

Coming to the App Store. iPhone only.

A bad day almost never starts on that day

Stress accumulates. The vet visit on Tuesday, the fireworks on Wednesday, the delivery van on Thursday morning — by the time you turn the corner and meet another dog, there was no room left.

You can't see that from inside a single walk. You can see it from four weeks of them.

What CalmDogs does

Know what today can hold

A short read each morning, built from what the last few days actually contained.

The CalmDogs home screen, showing a short daily read about how much the day can realistically hold.

Every walk, in context

Log the trigger, the distance you were at, how your dog reacted and how long it took to settle. Thirty seconds.

Logging a single event in CalmDogs: the trigger, the distance, the reaction and how long the dog took to settle.

See the pattern, not the bad day

Which triggers matter for your dog — not for dogs in general.

A breakdown of one trigger over several weeks, showing where and when it tends to happen for this particular dog.

One small step at a time

Step-by-step exercises drawn from what you've logged.

The guide screen in CalmDogs, showing the current stage and the next exercise to try on a normal walk.

Understand what drives it

Recovery speed, tracked over weeks, so progress is visible even when a single walk isn't.

Recovery speed plotted over several weeks, showing change that a single walk would not reveal.

What CalmDogs is not

It is not training advice, and it is not a substitute for a professional. It does not diagnose anything, it will not tell you how far to stand from a trigger, and it does not promise that your dog will be a different dog in thirty days.

It is a record and a way of reading it.

Price

$59.99 a year, or $9.99 a week. There is no free tier and no trial — the app is only useful once there is a few weeks of history in it, and a three-day trial can't show you that.

Questions

Will this fix my dog's reactivity?

No. CalmDogs is a logging and education tool. Behaviour change comes from work with your dog, usually alongside a qualified professional. What CalmDogs does is show you what you've actually been working with.

What is trigger stacking?

The way stress from separate events adds up rather than resetting. A dog who met three difficult things in three days is not the same dog on day four, even if day four looks quiet on paper.

What is a threshold?

The point past which a dog stops being able to respond to you. It is not a fixed distance and it moves from day to day — which is exactly the thing that's hard to see without a record.

How long before I see anything useful?

Roughly two to three weeks of logging. Before that there isn't enough history for a pattern to exist.

Is it available on Android?

Not currently. iPhone only.

Do you share my data?

No.
