About Dog Body Language: methodology and sources
Dog Body Language on dogbodylanguage.app helps owners observe dog body language. It also covers cats and other pets. Reports describe visible signals and possible explanations; they cannot read thoughts or diagnose health conditions.
How we interpret a clip
We look at posture, tail, ears, facial tension, movement, vocalizations and the surrounding trigger. We describe what is visible, explain several possible meanings and suggest low-risk next steps. A single signal or confidence score does not establish an emotion or diagnosis.

When to seek help
For sudden, painful, severe or persistent changes, contact a veterinarian. Avoid forcing contact, punishing warning signals or delaying care because of an AI report. For repeated fear or aggression, ask your vet about a qualified behavior professional.
Wildlife and exotic animal rules vary by country and region. Check local rules on ownership, welfare and trade. Observe wildlife from a safe distance; never capture, handle or release an animal for an analysis. Keep children and pets away from venomous animals and contact local wildlife services.
