Calm Leash Notes / About & sources

About & sources

Calm Leash Notes is a small educational site about leash reactivity: what it is, how to manage it, and how training helps. It is built by the team behind the PawLine app (patent pending), which helps owners track walks, episodes and health notes for their pets. The guides are free; the app link is how the project sustains itself.
