Personal dog-reading
What is your dog saying?
Send us a short video of your dog and get it back with “subtitles” in dog language. We show you what we see, when it happens, and how the signals fit together.
€65
per video
A personal review of your dog’s body language. Not an automated AI interpretation.
The body becomes still and the weight shifts backwards. Here we might see several signs that the dog may need more time and distance.
How it works
You send the video. We help you see what is easy to miss.
1. Send your video
Upload a short video of a situation you would like to understand better.
2. We look at the details
We look at body language, changes, distance, movement and context, not just one isolated signal.
3. You get the dog language subtitled
You get the video back with comments at the moments that matter, plus a short summary of the key points.
It is often the tiny details
One piece tells you a little. A whole sequence tells you much more.
Dogs often communicate quickly and subtly. Something that feels “sudden” in the moment may contain several small changes when you watch the video back.
We help you see both the individual signals and how they fit together.

Pee-break
You can send almost any everyday situation.
You do not need to know which signals to look for. It is enough to wonder: “What is actually happening here?”
The important thing is that your dog can be seen as clearly as possible and that the video shows enough of the situation for us to understand the context.
-
Meeting another dog
-
Play between two dogs
-
Your dog meeting a person
-
A situation at home you do not quite understand
-
Your dog noticing something on a walk
-
When your dog suddenly stops, barks, moves away or becomes intense
-
The interaction between you and your dog
Not mind reading
Can we tell you exactly what your dog is thinking?
No. And that is not what we are trying to do.
We look at your dog’s observable communication in that particular situation: body posture, movement, gaze, distance, pace and changes over time. Then we consider the signals together and in context.
Sometimes the communication is clear. Sometimes there are several possible interpretations. When that is the case, we tell you. We do not pretend to know when the video does not give us enough information.

Before you send your video
As a starting point, up to 60–90 seconds. Choose the part of the video where the situation is clearest.
Preferably. The more of your dog’s body and surroundings we can see, the better we can interpret the context.
Yes, especially if you want to understand the interaction between them. Tell us which dog is yours and what you would like us to focus on.
No. A video interpretation can provide useful information about one specific situation, but it does not replace a full behavioural assessment for larger or recurring problems.
We will tell you. We will not make a confident interpretation if the dog, situation or context cannot be assessed clearly enough. We will tell you what we can from the information we are given.
You filmed it. We help you see the situation from your dog’s side.
Send us a short video and get it back with your dog’s body language and signals explained.
