It’s Duolingo
for dog
Ever wonder what your dog is thinking? Stop guessing and start translating with Talkies—the app that finally gives your best friend a voice (literally, you get to pick it).
Here is what you get:
Dog-to-Human Translation: Learn what they want, when they want it.
Custom Voices: Choose the voice you think your dog would have if they were human.
Behaviour and Wellbeing Tracking: A mood diary to track their progress and changes.
Expert Advice: Quick tips on how to manage situations as they come up.
The Ultimate Dog Club: Instant access to behaviourists, handy tools, and a community of fellow dog lovers.
But ultimately what you get is UNDERSTANDING. And understanding is the key to everything.
No boring lectures, just real-life, useful know-how for you and your pup.
It’s easy, it’s fun, and it’s about to make you two inseparable. Ready to speak "Dog"?
Understanding is the key to everything
We’ve all heard “it’s good to talk”. When we communicate, we connect.
Speaking the same language as someone changes your whole experience of one another. When you meet people who don’t understand a word you’re saying, the experience is limited, massively.
It’s no different with our dogs. While our clever companions can learn up to 500 human words, we rarely take the time to learn their language.
Take the classic "waggy tail." You’ve probably been told it always means happy. Plot twist: that’s not necessarily true. A wag simply means emotional arousal—positive or negative. That stiff, high, flagpole-like wag? That's might not be joy; it could be high tension or assertiveness. To truly read the dog, you have to look at the eyes, ears, and posture, too.
That’s where Talkies comes in. We help you decipher your dog’s code so you’re never left guessing.
When you understand what your dog is trying to say, everything clicks. Frustration melts away, replaced by cooperation, patience, and a massive boost in trust and closeness. Your dog will sense your new superpower instantly—and love you all the more for it.
Because true love starts with listening and understanding.
We help you experience having a dog in your life to the max, and it’s the best experience in the world.

How it works

Upload videos or voice-notes describing what your dog is doing. We’ll analyse, report what is happening and why, share advice if it's needed, and help you track behaviour and well-being in your dog diary. Become a founding member
Talkies is built by dog owners and behavioural scientists. To understand your dog, specifically.

Why Talkies?
Talkies was born out of pure love for our furry roommates—and the realisation that keeping a canine happy between Zoom calls is a frantic full-time job. We’re a team of certified dog-obsessed humans who’ve been in your shoes (and had them chewed up).
Skip the Doggy Therapist: Behavioural issues usually start small. We help you catch them before they turn into a four-figure bill for a canine psychologist.
Cracking the Code: We’ve all looked at our pups and wondered: “Is he truly fulfilled, or is he secretly judging my life choices?”
Fluent in Woof: No more guessing games. We help you bridge the communication gap, because your dog has a LOT to say.
If you’ve ever wished your dog could just text you what they want instead of staring blankly at the wall... you’re in the right place.
This is Fergus. He’s the inspiration behind Talkies. He’s eight, super smart, hyper-vigilant and reactive when he feels unsafe. He lives with Muna, our Founder. Muna had to learn to understand him better, to help him navigate the world. And now it’s like Fergus speaks to her in full sentences. Talking is good. Understanding each other is even better.
