Step 1
Find his number
Take him out three times and log what happens. Three taps each walk. The app works out the distance where he stops being able to think. That's his number.
STEADY WALKS · THE APP
Find out how close is too close for your dog.
It's a distance, and it's different for every dog. Closer than it, your dog can't hear you, can't take a treat, and can't learn.
Steady Walks finds that distance from your real walks, then tracks every walk after that so you can see whether it's working.
No card to set up. Three baseline walks and you'll have his number.
Try it. Sixty seconds, no sign-up.
This is Rocco. He's a made-up dog with made-up data, so nothing you tap here is saved and nothing is charged.

starting working distance
3 walks until his number
That's the whole app. Three taps a walk, and it does the rest.
You're not walking your dog any more. You're managing a risk.
You know the routes that are clear at seven and the ones that aren't.
You've turned down the same side street so many times it feels like your street now.
You've tried the trainer, the videos, and the chicken that worked for two weeks and then stopped.
None of it was wasted. But none of it told you how close was too close for your dog, and that's the number everything else runs on.
Three steps. Fifteen minutes a day.
Step 2
Stay further out than that
If his number is twelve metres, you practise at fifteen. It feels like nothing is happening. That's the point. If he won't take a treat, you're too close.
Step 3
Move closer when he's ready
Three good walks in a row and the plan moves him in. A bad day and it doesn't. A bad day never sets him back, and the app tells you why.
What it does on a walk
Log a walk in three taps
Easy, Triggered, or Blew up. That's the whole input.
It works out his number
And it says how many walks that number is based on, so you know how much to trust it.
A recovery timer
So you know when he's genuinely back, not just quiet.
Emergency tools, without ending the walk
What to do when it's already happening.
One chart for every walk
Reactions, recovery time, and his working distance, with every axis labelled so you never guess which direction is good.
A one-page report for your vet or trainer
Printed, with your real numbers. Both times I've handed mine over, the vet said nobody brings this.

"This week Rocco reacted on 57% fewer triggers, and recovered 6 seconds faster than when you started. You did the boring part. That's the part most people quit on."
Rocco is the dog the method was built on. His walks are real.
Written by an owner, checked by a trainer.
I'm not a behaviourist and I don't pretend to be. I'm the person who spent eighteen months getting this wrong before I worked out that it was a distance. The method is standard, force-free, and it's been reviewed by a certified trainer.
