Dog Decoder

I’m finding the content useful user-friendly, but the glitches are maddening, bordering on unusable. It won’t let me look at more than one or two poses before glitching - content is slow to refresh, but even if you wait for all the icon images to load on the screen there’s no guarantee that when you click on a body language or greeting option you won’t be faced with a blank screen—one that not only never loads, but doesn’t allow you to return to the menu screen. The only way to select another option is to close the app and reopen it. Every single time you want to select a new option to learn about.

I have to delete and reinstall the app every time I want to move from one description to the next

I was expecting this to have more useful info. This is all fairly obvious dog body language

Crashed never to return

I purchased this app after reading an article by the app author that I that was really helpful. Unfortunately, the app does not load images or descriptions for all of the entries. I’m frustrated that I paid $3.99 and it does not do what it claims to do. Please update the app or refund purchases.

As a professional dog trainer I recommend this app to people all the time. As humans that choose to bring dogs into our lives we should learn as much about what our dogs are saying as possible to improve everyone’s quality of life. This app lets you discover some often overlooked body language that dogs use to communicate with us. The breakdowns of every signal are well explained and the illustrations by Lili Chin are easy to relate to & remember.

I work in rescue and have learned so much about reading dogs’ body language from this app. If more people were better equipped to handle their pets with this level of awareness, there would be more pets in homes! So worth it.

The info is all very basic, if you’ve spent even a small amount of time around dogs. Definitely not worth 5 bucks, I got all I needed from it in about 5 minutes.

400,000 children are sent to the ER because people don’t recognize the dog’s warning and stress signals. As holistic dog trainer and behaviorist, it’s my priority to help people better communicate with their dog’s. This app is what I recommend to my clients to test their skills and teach their children. The quiz is a great way to learn safely and build a strong family bond with their dog.

Accurate, simple and covers key points in understanding the basics of canine body language! Best app by far!
