A definitive guide and workbook for training your dog to talk using button communication, from the New York Times bestselling author of How Stella Learned to Talk.
It’s a question that has crossed every dog owner's mind: What would it be like to know what my dog is thinking? In Your Dog Can Talk, speech pathologist and New York Times bestselling author Christina Hunger helps dog owners teach their pets to speak by using button communication, a method that allows dogs to give voice to their daily thoughts, requests, and feelings by pawing buttons that activate prerecorded words.
For the first time in history, we have a window into our dogs’ minds and can hear firsthand how they’re experiencing the environment we share with them. When we know exactly what our pets need and are thinking about, we can better care for them, strengthen our bond, and create a relationship grounded in mutual respect and communication.
Your Dog Can Talk is an indispensable resource for long-time dog owners, new puppy parents, and everyone in between. Using the methods she developed with her own dog, Stella, Hunger shows readers how to create an easy-to-implement speech training plan for their beloved pups. Filled with simple explanations, realistic goals for owners, and step-by-step instructions, as well as helpful anecdotes from Hunger’s own experiences working with thousands of dogs, Your Dog Can Talk makes button communication more understandable and accessible than ever before.
