The Dog Signal manga first started on Kadokawa’s Comic Bridge website back in 2018, and the 10th volume will launch around the same time as the anime debuts. The anime is being directed by Kazuhiro Furuhashi (SPY x FAMILY), and episodes will air every Sunday at 5:00pm Japan Time starting this October. 

The story of Dog Signal follows Miyu Samura, a rookie dog trainer whose ex-girlfriend left him with a dog he isn’t sure how to take care of. Things change in his life when he meets experienced dog trainer Shinichiro Niwa, who introduces him to the rest of the characters above and sends him in a new direction.
