Overview

Behavior progress tracking turns “he seems better on lead lately” into a chart you can show a client. You assign behaviors to a pet, log a score each time you work on one, and Pawgress plots the trend over time.
Included on every planProgress tracking is available on both Basic and Pro.

​
Who Logs What

Both sides of the relationship can contribute, and each entry records who made it:
  • Trainers log from Progress in the main navigation, after picking a client and a pet
  • Clients log from their own Progress page for their dog
Because clients can log between sessions, you get a picture of how the dog behaves the other six days of the week — usually the more revealing data.

​
Logging an Entry

​
Step 1: Select the pet

Trainers: open Progress, then choose the client and the pet you’re logging for. Clients: open Progress and pick the dog.

​
Step 2: Add an entry

Click Add Entry to open the log form.

​
Step 3: Fill in the log

  • Behavior — pick which behavior this entry is about
  • Date — defaults to today; change it if you’re backfilling a session
  • Progress Score — a 1 to 10 slider, where 1 is severe, 5 is moderate, and 10 is excellent
  • Quick Notes — optional context: what you worked on, what triggered a setback, what finally clicked
Save the entry and it appears immediately in the log table and the chart.
Score the same thing the same wayThe score scale is only useful if you apply it consistently. Decide what a “6” means for a given behavior early on and stick to it — a wobbly scale produces a chart nobody can interpret.

​
Reading the Progress View

For a selected pet and behavior, the Progress page shows:
  • The log table — every entry with its date, score, notes, and whether a trainer or the client recorded it
  • The trend — scores plotted over time, so improvement (or regression) is visible at a glance
Switch behaviors to see how each one is developing independently. A dog can be improving steadily on recall while stalling on reactivity, and averaging the two would hide both facts.

​
Using Progress in Client Conversations

The chart earns its keep in three places:
  • Mid-package check-ins — evidence that the work is paying off, which keeps clients committed
  • Training reports — reference specific logged scores when you write up progress
  • Renewal conversations — a flattening curve on one behavior is a concrete argument for more sessions
Ask clients to log between sessionsTrainers who get clients logging two or three times a week end up with far better data than those relying on session-day entries alone — and clients who log tend to practise more, because logging reminds them to.
