Before you can read trouble, you have to know what settled actually looks like. Here are two minutes of it.
This is one full lesson from inside the course. The rest of the course is below.
A 5-module online course that teaches you to read what your sighthound is actually saying, in a dialect most dog owners and plenty of trainers get wrong.

Generic dog body language guides are written for generic dogs. Sighthounds break the rules: a tucked tail is often just conformation, a dog flat on its side with eyes open may be fast asleep, chattering teeth can mean joy, and the stillness that looks like calm can be the last second before a 40mph launch.
This course teaches the sighthound dialect properly: the calm states and what they really look like, the stress signals that get missed, the arousal ladder that ends in a chase, and how to read it all live, in real time, on real walks. Once you can hear the conversation, everything about owning this breed gets easier.
Baseline first, then stress, then arousal, then live reading. Each layer builds on knowing the one below it.
Why generic body language rules mislead sighthound owners: conformation quirks, racing history, and how to observe like a professional.
The relaxed sighthound catalogue: roaching, flat-side sleeping, nitting, happy chattering, and the difference between true calm and shut-down.
The stress vocabulary: displacement and appeasement signals, the freeze, whale eye, and the escalation ladder every bite is preceded by.
The arousal ladder in detail: excitement vs stress arousal, zoomies, and the prey sequence signals every sighthound owner must know by heart.
Live reading drills, the response playbook for each state, reading unfamiliar dogs fast, and turning observation into a lifelong conversation.
