Sideways
The BAT/LAT session log reactive-dog owners keep in a spreadsheet
Build your dog's trigger ladder, run a session against one rung, and tap one big button to mark under or over threshold. You get the time-vs-arousal trace, the shrinking safe distance, a wins log and a trainer report. Free, offline, no account.

What you can do in Sideways on the web
Trigger ladder per dog
Rank what sets them off — other dogs, cyclists, skateboards, joggers, strollers, trucks — hardest first, each with today's safe distance in metres or feet.
One-tap threshold console
A 210-pixel dial flips between UNDER and OVER threshold with a tone; every flip is a timestamped sample, so the session builds its own arousal timeline.
The time-vs-arousal trace
Each finished session shows a green/red trace strip with gold win markers, the under-threshold percentage, the longest unbroken calm stretch and every interval.
Watch the safe distance shrink
Ending a session writes the new safe distance back onto the rung, and each rung shows whether it has closed, held or backed off against the sessions older than a week.
Wins log
Log every above-the-line moment — disengaged, looked back, took a treat near the trigger — with a 12-week heatmap. The list your future self needs on the bad days.
Trainer report
Pick a window (2 weeks to 6 months) and copy or download the whole thing — ladder, sessions, distances, under-threshold percentages, notes and wins — plus a CSV.
