Description

Do you know how to read your dog’s body language? Do you understand when he tries to tell you he’s stressed, or submissive, or ready for fun-time? Can you tell the difference between excitement and fear, or between aggression and the need to play?

Dog language can be confusing, but with the help of Dog Decoder, you’ll understand your dog’s signals like a pro.

Dog Decoder will teach you everything you need to know about how your dog communicates, so you can not only avoid bites, but share in a more satisfying, healthy, and loving relationship.

=== MEET “DIAMOND” ===

Diamond is your tour guide and trainer. He will show you how he looks when he’s afraid, when he’s stressed, when he’s just about to bite, and when he wants to play.

=== DOG POSTURES ===

There are about SIXTY different poses on display in Dog Decoder. Each pose is beautifully and expressively illustrated by one of the world’s top dog artists.

Each pose comes with a diagram, pointing out where on Diamond’s body he’s indicating how he’s feeling. For example, in the poses for “fear,” the diagram will point out Diamond’s tucked tail, his ears pulled back, etc. We won’t just show you a picture of a scared dog — we’ll teach you what to look for, the signs of fear.

Each pose also comes with a helpful description of the context. This is where you will learn about some common misconceptions, or what kinds of situations will cause your dog to assume each posture.

=== TEST YOURSELF! ===

The best way to see how much you’ve learned is to take the quiz! Some of the quiz questions are pretty challenging. Diamond wants to make sure you don’t get fooled next time he’s hiding under the coffee table or drooling – will you recognize the early warning signs of stress? Will you be able to warn your children when your dog is clearly done playing?

5*!

I currently helping my dog with fear aggression and got reccomended to use this. I don't normally pay for apps but I have heard from a few dog owners/lovers that it's worth every penny and I would agree. It is simple, easy to understand and is filled with lots of information. I reccomend anybody wanting to learn or get to know their dogs body language.
However I would say it's a bit more pricey than i would expect but I do prefer free apps (so more of my point of view) still worth every penny though!

Really good app

I use this as a teaching aid for smalls, as showing pictures to visualise the dogs manner and behaviour is easier for them.

Also I have older kids on the spectrum as in autism and aspergers and they read dogs much like they read us but differently if that makes sense. Visualisation is better for them to understand.

The quiz is fun and I hope there is updates for it too to make it a wee bit harder. Kids and adults love quizzes well in this house they do.

Thank you
