What this quiz looks at
Before you start, here is what this page is designed to add beyond the score:
- Loose versus tense body posture and why the difference matters.
- Common displacement or avoidance signals that may indicate a dog wants more space.
- Why sudden changes in behaviour can justify a veterinary or qualified behaviour assessment.
The safest way to read a dog is to look at the whole animal and the situation around it. This quiz is introductory: it is designed to encourage observation, not to replace professional behaviour advice.
