About the Speak Dog Quiz

This free quiz is a quick, playful way to test how well you read your dog's body language — the calming signals, stress cues, and happy tells your dog gives you every day. In five questions you'll find your dog-listening style, your biggest blind spot, and one small thing to try this week. Made with love by Nicole & Nora, two mini dachshunds, and the humans who listen to them.

Frequently asked questions

What does the “speak dog” quiz actually measure?

It looks at how you read everyday dog body language and communication — tail position, ear set, lip licks, yawns and other calming signals — then matches you to a dog-listening style with a personalized strength and blind spot.

How long does the quiz take, and is it free?

About one minute — five quick questions — and it's completely free. At the end you'll also get a free chapter of the Dog Language Handbook.

Will it help me understand my dachshund or another breed?

Yes. The signals in the quiz are universal dog language, so it works for every breed — including stubborn little dachshunds like Nicole and Nora.

Who are Nicole & Nora?

Two long-haired mini dachshunds and the humans behind them, on a mission to help you stop guessing and start understanding your dog. Follow along on Instagram at @nicolenoraminidoxies.
