Understand what your dog may be communicating through body language, posture, facial expression, movement, sound and context. DogTells helps you slow the moment down and look at the whole dog before reaching a conclusion. Submit a photo or short video and receive a structured, AI-assisted report on the signals in front of you. DogTells is powered by the Board of Canine Behaviorists. ANALYZE YOUR DOG Submit a photo or a video of up to 20 seconds. The report sets out the observed signals, what they may suggest in context, arousal and comfort levels, how confident the reading is, any safety considerations, and what to monitor next.
