I love how Stella wants to say things that don't necessarily lead her people to actions, such as the water bye. She sometimes just wants to communicate for the sake of expressing herself. That's what is really special.
I saw the one with the dog named Bunny who told her human that there was a "stranger" "paw". When the owner looked in her paw, there was indeed something there needed to be taken out
This kinda makes me wonder how many genuine, mundane wishes dogs and other pets have every day, and they just deal with not getting it because they have no way to communicate it. Like the blanket one.
@Sunday Girl For sure, but learning to speak doesn't equate to full comprehension of instructions. Look at how bad at following them most people are, lol.
He presents training in 7 days. Each of 7 items are commands that he believes a dog should know. They are presented in part ii of the book th-cam.com/users/postUgkxK8-VQWpYThx4IC6MiIvb6VS1ebTzzdxq . The parts of the guideare divided: part i know your dog part ii the seven commands part iii cures for 7 behavior problems. Each chapter presents a topic, a dog's story, and a "what to do". It was written simply and you can jump from chapter to chapter to review anything as needed.

There are dogs who can do that vocally, you can actually understand when they say it. Rare of course, but there are multiple dogs who can do that, of different breeds. :)
@Idotic Moron You have not seen it. There is a video of a dog saying, quite clearly (but with an accent) 'I Love You'. Plain as day. They get the dog to repeat it several times in the full video. That was the first one, a Husky I think, or maybe Malamute. It happened, on camera. There have also been other dogs who have said it. One was a really cut smaller dog, don't know the breed. The girl cried when her dog said it. REALLY CUTE stuff. These are searchable, you can find them if you look. Then we also have video of a cat who got CAUGHT barking like a dog, causing a bunch of havoc in a neighborhood. But that's a different story.
@@jamescurfman3284 I would caution that teaching a dog to vocalize something that sounds like “I love you” doesn't mean that's what they are saying: the dogs that I've seen say this are treat trained so what they're actually saying is “I want a treat now”, and sometimes they are pretty demanding about it! My dog says I love you often, you just have to pick up on it: I just came to bed a few minutes ago and she came over to me, licked my hand, and then curled into my leg. It's pretty obvious what she was saying, in her own language. 🙂
Some of the best conversations I’ve ever had was with my dog. Sadly it will be a year since he passed and I still miss him more than words can communicate…
I feel for you. It's been 5 years since my last dog passed, and at only 4 1/2 due to uncontrollable seizures. I still grieve all three that I've had over time. They're the best anti-depressants. If it weren't for financial scarcity, I'd have another. Vet care, good food, etc. - responsible dog ownership can be expensive. Sorry for your loss.
there's even a talkign cat using the same system. there's an increasing number of owners teaching their animals how to communicate. this is fascinating
@@thatgirlwhousedtohavereall5549 When I heard about this the other day, I googled 'teaching dogs to talk', and found that there are lots of video tutorials, and the buttons are available online. Let us know how it goes!
Dude its a dog it doesnt understand what shes saying it just associates those sounds and buttons with certain events shes been trained LMAO. Why do some people try to make animals seem smart or human they are just trained to listen and do tricks.
@@brandoncole6358 I thoroughly agree there are a lot of dumb animals running around with little more than repetitious training and no real skill or reasoning of their own .
My dogs literally did this. We started a couple weeks ago with dinner and outside. They pushed the dinner button so many times that we took the buttons away.
You know she is talking because she is not just pushing buttons side-by-side, she pushes a button and then looks forgoes exactly for the next button even if it is on the oposite side of the board. And after pushing she looks at her mother and waits for an answer. This is actually very impressive.
Ive always believed that there's a hell of lot more going with animal intelligence and communication than our own arrogance will allow us to recognize and understand.
It is not arrogance but the empires are all the work of the elites and they don't want us thinking. That is why children are blinded early in schools with canaanite entrapment from our satanic rulers. They call it anthropomorphism but they are against it, yet if it wasn't obvious they wouldn't need to stop us thinking like that. There would be no such word as anthopomorphism. Guess what a peacock is called in Hebrew? If you analyse the oldest languages you have to believe that Adam must have been big on anthopomorphism.
The end was the most fascinating part. I thought everything on the board was action verbs or nouns. But the word when is a somewhat complex idea. She understands time and the idea of the future.
@@marshmallow167 The first thing to do when you have a question like that is to google it. Allie may never respond, but you can find the answer yourself.😉
I’ve known many dogs that just looking in their eyes you KNOW that there’s knowledge in there without an outlet for it. They look human in there. How patient dogs must be.
Definitely. I have a poodle whos extremely intelligent. We noticed it immediately when he was a puppy. He’d watch our every move like he wanted to understand what we were doing and saying. He’d mimick us, open cabinets, try to turn off the water faucet, open doors, get his own treats. He started bringing me my slippers in the morning, I think as a way to get his breakfast quicker, all without being trained to do so. He does all kind of stuff like that. I don’t think every dog is like this though. Two of my dogs would never be motivated to use buttons, or learn tricks. They are completely content napping and going for hikes. But my poodle loves it, has since he was 8 weeks old. Some dogs just need way more stimulation to be happy.
I am curious if it would be possible to have multiple (at least two) animals to learn this in the same household and see, if at a certain point they start to speak to each other and visibly understand, that would be insane :D
Ive seen that between two dogs. Bunny the dog and her sibling. Can’t remember the other dogs name. Bunny pressed play button or something, but the other dog ignored it. So I guess it wasn’t two way communication though😂. The other dog sometimes use the buttons too
@@mar97216 Otto is Bunny's brother. I saw that Otto pushed his name button the other day - Don't know who taught him but Bunny is so highly intelligent it's fun to watch her.
@@mar97216 Bunny's little brother's name is Otter. He has been learning the buttons almost exclusively through observation (I think by design, as part of the university study they are both enrolled in). They each have their own set of buttons, and yes, they have talked to each other! They also talk for and about each other to their humans.
Awwww that was so sweet! A dog pressing buttons and a human interpreting the button to something that, with video editing and cutting just the piece you like, you respond in human terms to create emotion to the viewer. Awwww that is so cooool. Pffft
@@danmarshall3225 If you're talking about the word "Love" then you're probably right but if you're talking about dogs for example feeling loved and loving others you're wrong
We’re just now scratching the surface of understanding our dogs’ potential, in terms of their intelligence, cognition, loyalty and emotional depth. Abusing or mistreating these animals is despicable on every conceivable level.
Maybe learning the slim potential of house dogs, because working dogs have been excelling and performing jobs for hundreds of years. There's just not a whole lot of learning for a dog that spends all day in a house.

My last dog, Zeek was the smartest dog I ever saw. She was a black collie mix. I would order a pizza to go and she was ready to go get it. I would never say a word and we somehow communicated. My uncle said she never let me out of sight and when I needed her to do something she did it. He asked me how I trained her to which I replied that she trained me God as my witness, she talked to me. I just was lucky to recognise her potential. She was so smart she was frustrated her 1st years but like overnight we were inseparable. I took her everywhere. I miss her as one would miss a child. She was 14 when I lost her. I saw a bumper sticker that read " Lord help me to be the person that my dog thinks I am."
I had the privilege of observing our collie Marshall training my siblings to play fetch FOR him while we were growing up. Scene: I'm attempting (and failing) to take a nap on the couch... but Marshall must have assumed I was asleep. Marshal puts his ear to the wooden floor, in front of some furniture and waits. Hearing someone coming, he shoves one arm under the furniture and complains, as if he had been trying to get something out from under it for a while. Younger sibling: Oh you poor boy, let me help you out! *gets the toy from under the furniture and gives it to him, throws it once or twice for traditional fetch, and then leaves* Marshall then, after sibling has left, sets the toy on the ground, and kicks it back under the furniture, puts his ear to the ground, and waits for someone. Stepfather walks in, seeing Marshall "trying to get at the toy" Stepfather: Oh I'm not falling for this bullshit again
I'm sorry for the loss of Zeek. My Rottie Lab Suzi passed at 16yo. She was brilliant. I had items we'd named together which shed bring me & each one indicated a need or a message. She is also missed like a child - by me & by my human kids too. XO💔💔💔💔❤
There’s also an amazing talking cat named Billie. She uses the same button method. She is a hilarious cat and her personality comes through even more with her verbal communication. She even talks about her feelings. 😻💬
I loved when she was waiting for that toy to come in the mail & then she was mad because it was the wrong one. Also - so sad to see Mom try to explain to Billi that dad was in Uganda…outside without Billi.
When you find out about a person describing an "exceptional" non-human animal, what you discover is a very observant, sensitive person who pays close attention to the animal. Probably all, or most, non-human animals can communicate clearly IF they have the good fortune to live with a person who pays attention and cares to understand!
I know reptiles are only now getting some interest in their "knowledge" and mostly just bigger lizards and such. I have small lizards who can 100% communicate. Some people say they "tolerate" handling and don't learn their names or bond to people but I know in my personal experience, I have 2 lizards who run over to their door if they see me or "beg" on their door, who love to walk out and hangout with me and if one is sleeping or I can't find her, she usually comes out when she hears my voice
YES! I talk to my cats, and understand what they are saying to me. I started paying close attention to all of their noises and chirps when they were little babies, and now we talk lol.
Let's say even ants as a colony could speak as one entity and we somehow manage to use AI to understand them, they might be jerks. Not intentionally, but from a priority/ by their very nature. I have an uncle who is slow mentally, he can be pushy innocent or domineering clever. I think even this lady finds it exhausting at times, having a dog that can speak. An animal's priorities (even a human's, really.) will be overwhelming if you reschedule your nature to ensure their "happiness ".
Thank you for recognizing that animals speak their own language just as humans do. It's awesome that she found a way to bridge the language barrier gap.
Firstly, that 'pod' of words should be divided up into rows so that Stella can reach all of them instead of accidently standing on one. I adore dogs and absolutely believe they could learn to push a button if they needed something but this set-up is too complex for a creature with 4 legs. I never saw one example here that proved she was 'talking.' She appeared to be randomly pushing buttons.
@@ksc743 they have an instagram where there are alot of videos. Hunger4words. That might not be proof since it can be edited, and she can randomly hit the buttons in correct order and they only show when she does it right and not wrong, but there have been other studies that estimated dogs to understand the same amount of words as a toddler I believe it was around 200 words.
@@stighald oh thanks, I don't have ig but I do believe for sure that dogs can learn a lot of words. If they can learn the basics "sit, stay, walkies etc" they can surely learn many more. I think for me it was the positioning of the letters here - the dog had to walk across the board to tap the right buttons. Plus I didn't really understand if she was asking the dog anything specific. It was just poorly set up IMO.
My dog companion had a squeezable plushie that would say “I love you”, he would bring this to me when I got home and squeeze it over n over. He never destroyed it or tried to chew the device out. He knew what he had and used it to communicate. My years with him were the best times of my life.

Communication is a total game changer. It would sure force people to become more aware of their pets as living, thinking, loving creatures with wants and desires. If Koko the gorilla can learn and use sign language and Stella can use her buttons in a home setting, this opens up possibilities. How cool!
Not just pets. Pigs are smarter than dogs. Cows are very social and emotionally intelligent. Chickens are clever too. All animals deserve compassion. Go vegan.
@@liriodendronlasianthus This is called the soft bigotry of low expectations. You think people in third world countries can't afford rice, potatoes, sweet potatoes, lentils, beans, grains, nuts, fruits, etc.? Those are the staples of many third world diets.

@@TXRhody I honestly just think conditions for livestock should be better. Livestock would almost always end up eaten, whether there is human intervention or not. I have canine teeth, might as well use them as my ancestors have. I can’t project human morals onto every species of animal, but I do think dogs are special in that they are the very first animal we have domesticated- not for the purpose of eating, but as a companion and partner. There becomes a point where humans are so intelligent that we can rationalize doing things that seem counterproductive or superfluous. Or make moral arguments that are in stark contrast to preserving the survival of the species, such as antinatalism. Also, I think the morality of what animals you eat should depend on their trophic level. Dogs are secondary consumers, so consuming them would be more inefficient due to energy lost in transfer from the additional trophic level. Most livestock should be primary consumers, though by this argument the most efficient diet would be of consumers. However, humans are omnivores and almost exclusively source essential vitamins like vitamin B12 from animal-based sources. So in a moderate position, I think I’d be content with chicken and lab grown meat. Chicken has way less environmental consequences compared to beef.
@@Maelstromme It's nonsense to say what would or wouldn't happen to livestock without human intervention. Livestock wouldn't exist without human intervention. Omnivore is a classification of what we have done or can do, not what we should do. Your canines are short and rounded like a frugivore or herbivore. Your jaws move side to side like a herbivore. There comes a point where humans are intelligent enough to just stop doing evil shit, because we can. Consuming livestock is unnecessary and the least efficient way to sustain ourselves. No truly intelligent person can rationalize doing the wrong thing when the consequences are so horrible.
What an amazing engagement with your dog. No treats focuses the comprehension on the actual task rather than a treat. Dogs, like kids enjoy seeing their initiative create a stronger communication, and it enables them hugely. This lady’s got it right. Love this:)
It also shows how the animal is actually communicating and COMPREHENDING human verbal communication. There's bound to be those who don't want to believe animals are capable of this level of intelligence who will claim the animal was "TRAINED" to this. But by Stella's human not using any reinforcement other than responding to what Stella communicated this demonstrates intelligence not the ability to be trained how to press buttons
The real question is how well can she communicate with other dogs? Some animals including dogs that hang with humans too much have trouble relating to other animals of their own species.
Stella is so fortunate to have a good human. This is so beyond Pavlov. First camping trip with my boyfriend’s family, they brought their Golden Retriever. She was whining and being ignored. I said, I thought she needed to do her business. Sister said, well how do you know? I said, “ Fawn? Do you have to go potty?” She danced and leaped and whimpered. I said, “ You ask her.” This is amazing communication between two living creatures.
I know exactly when my dog needs to go potty, and when she wants water. My mom thinks I'm nuts for the water one lol. They're small dogs so if both are on the couch and tired I bring over a small dish with water and when they just stare at me I know to put the dish down. They drink and lay back down.
This didn't show any evidence that the dog was communicating using the human language. The dog steps on some random buttons and the woman defines what she thinks the dog wants.
So great that she started this movement. I'm just using a few buttons with my cat, but it's so fun and I think so enriching for her and the other cats and dogs that are into it. I find it so interesting that in multi-pet households, that only one or some of them get into the buttons.
One of the most incredible videos I've seen, and it might have been of Stella, was a dog telling it's owner that she hurt and then she held up her paw. There was something stuck in it.
I saw a tiktok once and the doggy, shouting “stranger, help, stranger, help” and was signalling towards her paw Later the owner found out there was a thorn in his paw because they went to the beach for a walk prior to this. 🥺🥺🥺 the owner was able to remove the thorn isn’t that precious?
@DanRage47 Doesn't anyone/haven't they had a dog ? Yes, if given option, dogs will pick what they wish. I regularly ask doggo (one hand food, one leash) "which" - and she decides. Two grunts at which one. Works on types of food too, being terrier she wants to hunt moles, but gets mouth dirty (yes have water, swims etc etc), but when long day on molehill she likes to have the dry buttons instead of juicy liver/meat(or such wet) food. Just try it, no need to buy anything. Ask dog to stay, then go fetch [EDIT] what dog wants, I use two [/EDIT] items, ask which one. They'll catch the drift.
It puts a lump in my throat and I tear up a little... Throughout human history we've wanted to talk to our dogs... Now that one has been given the gift of words she has shown us how glad dogs are to talk to us. 💕💕💕🐕
The technology is actually there but if animals could perfectly communicate they would need rights and shit. It’d be a whole big mess, can’t let that happen
I learned so much from this video. Approximately 10 weeks ago I adopted a one-year-old Lab/Staffordshire mix rescue. Ginger had spent her first yearliving in a crate, in a metal kennel in a wharehouse with some 200 dogs. She had a LOT of catching up to do. At first I struggled with her immense vocalizations. She was trying SO HARD to communicate with me but I was not yet speaking her language. I knew she :needed" but I did not know what that need was. As time has moved on, I am doing better with her many yips, howls, barks and growls. But having this way of communicating would have helped me so much quicker.
No, our memory is far better than a dog's. English has hundreds of thousands of words. The matrix of buttons makes it easy to remember because --- this is super important -- animals have no concept of vocabulary. The dog is not talking. It is just pressing buttons in a certain (very) short sequence to get the desired result.
@@evarogers8775 Oh, I "borrow" doggo and we often come back dirty from woods, so first thing I taught when we come in she goes to showering room. One treat per foot, set on a shelf (when a leg is already washed), and she can eat when I finish all four feet (plus other parts ofc, depending on time 1-3 more treats). So one treat when I only open the water, more if I actually wash.
@@evarogers8775 My son's Whippet used to run away from me when I said ''Tiny, let me SMELL you!''...he knew it meant a BATH {because he had been rolling in Fox poo.} Dogs have a great understanding of words. I lost my other dog's lead on a walk in long grass.... it was getting dusk, and I asked Tiny the Whippet ''where's your lead?'' {I ask this in the house too.. and he began searching on the field, and found it! It's no secret that dogs understand language. Our new dog {a Whippet} is also very vocal..Sh makes the same noises that have meaning that I understand.
My female dog knows exactly where she wants to go. I don't always take her out trough the same places and when we go out we don't always take to the park. She usually wants to go so when we start going a different direction she sits on the ground nad won't move but if I tell I will take her tomorrow she undertands and gets up and the next day holds me accoubtable to that. It really brings a whole new comprehension of the description of creatures in the Bible. Like the snake is described as cunning and so on
When you think about it, this means that we have a much greater responsibility to animal life on the planet. This means sentience beyond hunger and basic needs. That dog said he “ loved” her. If she’s not giving him food to do this then this is a whole new level of understanding about the world in which we live.
Imagine Stella bears children and teach them how to use buttons to communicate with owner. That would literally start the whole new breed of pets down to generations. Imagine talking with animals like normal in 50 years?

and guess what the pigs u eat are even more intelligent than your dog. so stop eating them .if they could talk all they would say is HELP& STOP KILLING ME AND MY BABIES
I own a dog. He’s not intelligent. He repeatedly eats things that are not edible and make him sick. He destroys things despite training/punishment. He destroys his own bedding over and over, so we just stopped getting him bedding. He has destroyed my back yard. I would get rid of him but my wife and children want him so we keep him. Not all dogs are intelligent and neither are the humans that put up with them and encourage them.
My Bichon (who died a few years ago 💔) understood the English language so well. I wished I could have taught him to use this system to communicate with me verbally. Although, I have to say we understood each other without it. He was incredibly smart.
Your Bichon did not die...his spirit will always live in your 💖 and soul🐾🐾 I have a Shihpoo and she has always been super smart. Now that she's getting older (17 in a few days) she's a little tired soul but I know what she needs....We train each other along our journey together.💖
My dad has a Bichon Shih Tzu mix and she is crazy smart too :) She has different grumbles, barks and dance poses. She even has this "fake sneeze" when she really wants/demands something. I'm going to order some of these because sometimes she looks/gets frustrated when we're not smart enough to understand her. (like when she lays down, puts her chin between her paws and exhales heavily as if to say "idiots")
Woah I really liked her approach to the dog as a more individual perspective rather than owner- pet. We don't own any living creature. I think she understands that and that allowed the dog to express itself to her. I feel.
In this situation if the dog had liked the lady better (better treats, bigger house, funnier voices, whatever reason) and stayed at her side, you'd be for the lady keepings that guy's dog? Idk about that one man, i think if you buy a dog then its your dog
@Sunday Girl not even close to more people prefer "parent" over "owner" that's disconnected to say, I'd look at the part of town you live in and people you talk with as to why you would think you're in the majority. It's not symbiotic, its parasitic, entertainment doesn't equate nearly to getting life handed on a silver platter to the point of literally getting their crap picked up
@@illosovic we actually have some horrible ownership laws in the USA. If I murdered your dog, in some areas, it would not be treated as worse than theft of minor property. Additionally, your comment is asinine.
Pressing individual buttons recognizing individual words - many dogs actually learn the meanings of some words they hear every day. But the fact that she is putting the "words" into sentences is absolutely amazing. Maybe, this proves that dogs are actually much more intelligent than anyone knew.
I found it fascinating that Stella seems to know that sometimes one word is not sufficient to communicate what she wants to communicate. She seems to have realized that although each word has a meaning of its own, putting words together makes them mean something else.
I think she had one that means "bird". Might be confusing her with another dog though. I've been following Stella's progress since she was a pup. (Plus some others.) The words were - see, bird, outside. It was a plane. ✈
@@ThePinkBinks I was being silly and was referencing the animated movie UP, where a dog is able to speak through a hitech collar, and while speaking to people he will randomly yell "Squirrel", while thinking he had seen a squirrel in the background. th-cam.com/video/SSUXXzN26zg/w-d-xo.html
There's also another dog named Bunny, and two cats, one named Russell and one named Billi that all use buttons too. It's crazy cool how smart animals are.
I hung a bell on my front door knob and taught my golden retriever to bump the bell with her nose when she wanted to go outside. It's said dogs can learn 100 to 200 words. Amazing what what they can learn if we take the time to work with them... just like our children! 💞
With her book I taught my dog how to talk. It’s amazing! And then he taught all the other dogs in the neighborhood how to talk too. Now we’ve got a bit of a “planet of the apes” situation going on here, but hey, these dogs can tell us how much they’d love to see US in cages. 😟
I find it amazing how you can truly see the dogs personality. Instead of pushing outside come now. He pushed outside come when. Shows that he's not a very demanding dog he's asking her not telling her. That's pretty cool.
Try entering the house and dog will bark and run away or if its guard personality, then it will run towards you barking and will charge at you . Its in the genes, thousands of years of evolving. It will not go with speech training. It only reduces no. of times she barks in a day as she can now precisely tell what she wants.
Just because she barks less doesn't mean she will not bark at all. If it's beneficial to bark instead of using the buttons she will probably bark. I know a different pet that was trained to use the buttons, meows from time to time in response to questions or to get the owner's attention despite the fact that they have the buttons there. The buttons just make it easier for the dog to communicate with the human and aren't intended to nor do they eliminate barking completely.
It's a sad thought when this beautiful creature lives her great life. At the very end she'll say "good bye, christina, I love you, thank you, happy, happy"
Sooo touching. Such a loving thing to have done with your dog. I feel like my dog is such an amazing communicator but I know there are times I don’t know for sure what he wants and I feel bad.
This woman (and of course this dog) but especially this young woman, is so incredibly bright. If I had a child who needed some kind of speech therapy, this would be my gal. I would want so badly for her to be the one helping my child. this is absolutely amazing. It almost made me cry. I recently lost my dog of 12 years. He was my best friend. And I always used to tell people he understands words, he really honestly does. They are such wonderful creatures. And this young woman’s idea, as well as the effort, time, and work which she has put into this idea, in order to help her dog communicate, is nothing short of amazing. And of course to see how much love she has for her dog, and how much love her dog has for her, is just beautiful. I love everything about this, so much. ❤️
I taped a piece of chalk to my cat’s paw and put a small blackboard on the floor, and he wrote out a formula for making fusion energy work. After that, he had such a swelled head he expected fresh wild-caught salmon at every meal.
Hey Boris...GOOD one! Have him write out the Bill of Rights and I'll SEND him a salmon! Seriously, this is a money making racket. We can all sniff them out...Poor dog, let him BE a dog.
I wish they made buttons small enough for pet mice. Some of my mice behave very much like tiny dogs and many scientists claim their intelligence is equal to dogs. I think with my mice 'outside', 'cuddles' and 'cheezies' would be their favorite words lol But then it could be a lot more. My mice amaze me every day, it would be so cool to be able to see more how their tiny brains work.
You make me recall the dog act that this older couple had who came to our school in the early '60s & they had several "shows" that day to keep the number of students small" and a couple of the dogs could "read" better than we could or so they made us think. LOL
When the owner wants her dog to come downstairs, I sincerely hope she stands at the foot of the staircase and yells "Stella!" in an anguished tone of voice.
This feels like an important step toward more communication between dogs and humans. It’s clear there’s a lot of language-like thought that’s going on in this dog’s head, and these buttons are a great step toward enabling some expression of those thoughts. I wonder how complex her phrases could get if she weren’t held back by limited buttons. There’s serious room for more experimentation here. Imagine if we could all communicate much more closely with our dogs.

Nobody is taking credit for that. They are simply getting inspired by her. This woman's buttons are not grouped in a intuitive way btw. Bunny's human has done a much better job in that respect. This is an idea that improves and gets better when more people and dogs take part in it.
One could - but if u go on Instagram, you'll see early videos where the humans interpreted Stella incorrectly & Stella said No! For example, the owners thought she wanted a treat, a peanut butter bone - but Stella corrected that! What dog says no to a treat....ever??? Stella did! She also conveys the order in which she wishes to eat & play!
I have done this with my cats, except w/o the buttons. I learned several years ago, that if you just repeat simple words and demonstrate the meaning, they will pick it up. They have and we communicate easily.
This is awesome! Well done! After I was retired from the military a friend asked me to take a dog in and train her. They named her Sister. I thought it would be a fun experiment to see if I could train a dog listen for specific multiple syllable words before reacting. To add an additional layer of fun to the experiment, I used only German. I did this to determine if sister would react to the English my friends were using as well as the German that I was using. As you know, the German language is renowned for its multiple syllable words. I was amazed to see Sister learn to react to large words such as Lebensmittelladen (Grocery Store) as well as simple words like Kuss (Kiss) and yet still retain the same reaction to the English words. To date I have experimented with Sister reacting to numbers etc. This has been a blast. Sister now lives with me permanently. It seems she preferred my company to that of my friends, she refused to let me leave her. Another hilarious and unexpected episode. Pets can be so much fun and can surprise you how much they can learn!
Plot twist: your dog is so hilarious and witty that you start him on a comedy tiktok that goes viral, and your cat has the soul of a sweet trailblazer who cusses like a sailor and wishes for a cigarette
Billi speaks is the best example of cat To human communication... She is a cat who is learning with this method . Stellas story is helping us breach the human / animal communication barrier. It is remarkable to watch a cat express their exact needs and desires. She even forms thoughtful questions and statements by combining words to form new combinations.. It is so facinating. Perhaps one day we will somehow give them custom "voice" boxes... Lol
I don't understand how Stella learned this, but it's amazing and a wonderful way to communicate! It was so cute how Stella even used humour by saying "bye water". lol.
Doug!!!!😂😂 Could you imagine how hilarious it would be for slight voice malfunctions like in the movie where the dogs would have squeaky voices or some sauve accent ???!!!?? 🤣🤣🤣
Okay this is amazing I'd be interested in seeing if dogs passed the skill onto their puppies like that gorilla did to her babies. And I'd be interested in seeing dogs and cats communicating through the buttons.
You're probably thinking of Koko, who was amazing. It was a chimpanzee, though, who passed on her knowledge of sign language to her children. Her name was Washoe.
@@alexlogan202 Alex you need to look up the word denial. As in, you're in denial another animal shows signs of intelligence, while at the same time your only capable of showing stupidity.
The game change here is the dog has been given the ability to speak in human words. Dog's recognize words they hear constantly and connect the sound to an action or thing but being able to speak words in this way. Stella is a lucky dog to have such a clever human.
I love how Stella wants to say things that don't necessarily lead her people to actions, such as the water bye. She sometimes just wants to communicate for the sake of expressing herself. That's what is really special.
I know! Precious! 😭♥️
Jesus Christ, how dumb you can be

@Sunday Girl,
There are already reliable training methods that allow you to train your dog to do just that.
He presents training in 7 days. Each of 7 items are commands that he believes a dog should know. They are presented in part ii of the book th-cam.com/users/postUgkxK8-VQWpYThx4IC6MiIvb6VS1ebTzzdxq . The parts of the guideare divided: part i know your dog part ii the seven commands part iii cures for 7 behavior problems. Each chapter presents a topic, a dog's story, and a "what to do". It was written simply and you can jump from chapter to chapter to review anything as needed.

There are dogs who can do that vocally, you can actually understand when they say it. Rare of course, but there are multiple dogs who can do that, of different breeds. :)
@Idotic Moron You have not seen it. There is a video of a dog saying, quite clearly (but with an accent) 'I Love You'. Plain as day. They get the dog to repeat it several times in the full video. That was the first one, a Husky I think, or maybe Malamute. It happened, on camera. There have also been other dogs who have said it. One was a really cut smaller dog, don't know the breed. The girl cried when her dog said it. REALLY CUTE stuff. These are searchable, you can find them if you look.
Then we also have video of a cat who got CAUGHT barking like a dog, causing a bunch of havoc in a neighborhood. But that's a different story.
@@jamescurfman3284 I would caution that teaching a dog to vocalize something that sounds like “I love you” doesn't mean that's what they are saying: the dogs that I've seen say this are treat trained so what they're actually saying is “I want a treat now”, and sometimes they are pretty demanding about it! My dog says I love you often, you just have to pick up on it: I just came to bed a few minutes ago and she came over to me, licked my hand, and then curled into my leg. It's pretty obvious what she was saying, in her own language. 🙂

Ive always believed that there's a hell of lot more going with animal intelligence and communication than our own arrogance will allow us to recognize and understand.

It is not arrogance but the empires are all the work of the elites and they don't want us thinking. That is why children are blinded early in schools with canaanite entrapment from our satanic rulers.

And this is why I've worked with dogs my whole life
Definitely. I have a poodle whos extremely intelligent. We noticed it immediately when he was a puppy. He’d watch our every move like he wanted to understand what we were doing and saying. He’d mimick us, open cabinets, try to turn off the water faucet, open doors, get his own treats. He started bringing me my slippers in the morning, I think as a way to get his breakfast quicker, all without being trained to do so. He does all kind of stuff like that. I don’t think every dog is like this though. Two of my dogs would never be motivated to use buttons, or learn tricks. They are completely content napping and going for hikes. But my poodle loves it, has since he was 8 weeks old. Some dogs just need way more stimulation to be happy.
Imagine reincarnating into a dog's body in your next life, only able to growl and say "Woof".
I am curious if it would be possible to have multiple (at least two) animals to learn this in the same household and see, if at a certain point they start to speak to each other and visibly understand, that would be insane :D
That would be mindblowing, but it would have to be two different species, like a dog and a cat. Dogs already 'speak' dog. ;)
Ive seen that between two dogs. Bunny the dog and her sibling. Can’t remember the other dogs name. Bunny pressed play button or something, but the other dog ignored it. So I guess it wasn’t two way communication though😂. The other dog sometimes use the buttons too

My last dog, Zeek was the smartest dog I ever saw. She was a black collie mix. I would order a pizza to go and she was ready to go get it. I would never say a word and we somehow communicated.
My uncle said she never let me out of sight and when I needed her to do something she did it.
He asked me how I trained her to which I replied that she trained me
God as my witness, she talked to me. I just was lucky to recognise her potential.
She was so smart she was frustrated her 1st years but like overnight we were inseparable.
I took her everywhere. I miss her as one would miss a child. She was 14 when I lost her.
I saw a bumper sticker that read " Lord help me to be the person that my dog thinks I am."
I had the privilege of observing our collie Marshall training my siblings to play fetch FOR him while we were growing up.
Scene:
I'm attempting (and failing) to take a nap on the couch... but Marshall must have assumed I was asleep.
Marshal puts his ear to the wooden floor, in front of some furniture and waits.
Hearing someone coming, he shoves one arm under the furniture and complains, as if he had been trying to get something out from under it for a while.
Younger sibling: Oh you poor boy, let me help you out! *gets the toy from under the furniture and gives it to him, throws it once or twice for traditional fetch, and then leaves*
Marshall then, after sibling has left, sets the toy on the ground, and kicks it back under the furniture, puts his ear to the ground, and waits for someone.
Stepfather walks in, seeing Marshall "trying to get at the toy"
Stepfather: Oh I'm not falling for this bullshit again
I'm sorry for the loss of Zeek.

When you find out about a person describing an "exceptional" non-human animal, what you discover is a very observant, sensitive person who pays close attention to the animal. Probably all, or most, non-human animals can communicate clearly IF they have the good fortune to live with a person who pays attention and cares to understand!
good point
I know reptiles are only now getting some interest in their "knowledge" and mostly just bigger lizards and such. I have small lizards who can 100% communicate. Some people say they "tolerate" handling and don't learn their names or bond to people but I know in my personal experience, I have 2 lizards who run over to their door if they see me or "beg" on their door, who love to walk out and hangout with me and if one is sleeping or I can't find her, she usually comes out when she hears my voice
YES! I talk to my cats, and understand what they are saying to me. I started paying close attention to all of their noises and chirps when they were little babies, and now we talk lol.
Let's say even ants as a colony could speak as one entity and we somehow manage to use AI to understand them, they might be jerks. Not intentionally, but from a priority/ by their very nature. I have an uncle who is slow mentally, he can be pushy innocent or domineering clever. I think even this lady finds it exhausting at times, having a dog that can speak. An animal's priorities (even a human's, really.) will be overwhelming if you reschedule your nature to ensure their "happiness ".
Excellent point!
Thank you for recognizing that animals speak their own language just as humans do. It's awesome that she found a way to bridge the language barrier gap.
YES!!!! FINALLY SOMEONE UNDERSTANDS WERE I'M COMING FROM!!!
I would deserve any conclusions before a third Independent party verified that this is not another exaggerated claim as there have been many.
Firstly, that 'pod' of words should be divided up into rows so that Stella can reach all of them instead of accidently standing on one. I adore dogs and absolutely believe they could learn to push a button if they needed something but this set-up is too complex for a creature with 4 legs.
I never saw one example here that proved she was 'talking.' She appeared to be randomly pushing buttons.
@@ksc743 they have an instagram where there are alot of videos. Hunger4words. That might not be proof since it can be edited, and she can randomly hit the buttons in correct order and they only show when she does it right and not wrong, but there have been other studies that estimated dogs to understand the same amount of words as a toddler I believe it was around 200 words.
@@stighald oh thanks, I don't have ig but I do believe for sure that dogs can learn a lot of words. If they can learn the basics "sit, stay, walkies etc" they can surely learn many more.
I think for me it was the positioning of the letters here - the dog had to walk across the board to tap the right buttons. Plus I didn't really understand if she was asking the dog anything specific. It was just poorly set up IMO.
the day when a dog says love you to me, i’d turn into a puddle of tears
Don't they say that when they run up wagging their tail. Stand on their hind legs and try to lick you in the face?
Dogs say it everyday to their master. They love you so much it's disturbing; they love you more than your wife or your children (past 10 yo).
Bunny the talking dog on utube says it often to her person
My dog companion had a squeezable plushie that would say “I love you”, he would bring this to me when I got home and squeeze it over n over. He never destroyed it or tried to chew the device out. He knew what he had and used it to communicate. My years with him were the best times of my life.

It wasn't until I went vegan that I started learning about African peanut stew, Indian dal, falafel, coconut curry, etc.
@@TXRhody I honestly just think conditions for livestock should be better. Livestock would almost always end up eaten, whether there is human intervention or not. I have canine teeth, might as well use them as my ancestors have. I can’t project human morals onto every species of animal, but I do think dogs are special in that they are the very first animal we have domesticated- not for the purpose of eating, but as a companion and partner.
There becomes a point where humans are so intelligent that we can rationalize doing things that seem counterproductive or superfluous. Or make moral arguments that are in stark contrast to preserving the survival of the species, such as antinatalism.
Also, I think the morality of what animals you eat should depend on their trophic level. Dogs are secondary consumers, so consuming them would be more inefficient due to energy lost in transfer from the additional trophic level. Most livestock should be primary consumers, though by this argument the most efficient diet would be of consumers. However, humans are omnivores and almost exclusively source essential vitamins like vitamin B12 from animal-based sources. So in a moderate position, I think I’d be content with chicken and lab grown meat. Chicken has way less environmental consequences compared to beef.
@@Maelstromme It's nonsense to say what would or wouldn't happen to livestock without human intervention. Livestock wouldn't exist without human intervention.
Omnivore is a classification of what we have done or can do, not what we should do. Your canines are short and rounded like a frugivore or herbivore. Your jaws move side to side like a herbivore.
There comes a point where humans are intelligent enough to just stop doing evil shit, because we can. Consuming livestock is unnecessary and the least efficient way to sustain ourselves. No truly intelligent person can rationalize doing the wrong thing when the consequences are so horrible.
What an amazing engagement with your dog. No treats focuses the comprehension on the actual task rather than a treat. Dogs, like kids enjoy seeing their initiative create a stronger communication, and it enables them hugely. This lady’s got it right. Love this:)
It also shows how the animal is actually communicating and COMPREHENDING human verbal communication.
There's bound to be those who don't want to believe animals are capable of this level of intelligence who will claim the animal was "TRAINED" to this.
But by Stella's human not using any reinforcement other than responding to what Stella communicated this demonstrates intelligence not the ability to be trained how to press buttons

I said, “ You ask her.” This is amazing communication between two living creatures.
A lot of it depends on the animals level of intellegience .) Age, sociaial skills, tolotence of others, and their attitide. Lol !

@DanRage47 Doesn't anyone/haven't they had a dog ?
Yes, if given option, dogs will pick what they wish. I regularly ask doggo (one hand food, one leash) "which" - and she decides. Two grunts at which one. Works on types of food too, being terrier she wants to hunt moles, but gets mouth dirty (yes have water, swims etc etc), but when long day on molehill she likes to have the dry buttons instead of juicy liver/meat(or such wet) food.
Just try it, no need to buy anything. Ask dog to stay, then go fetch [EDIT] what dog wants, I use two [/EDIT] items, ask which one. They'll catch the drift.
It puts a lump in my throat and I tear up a little... Throughout human history we've wanted to talk to our dogs... Now that one has been given the gift of words she has shown us how glad dogs are to talk to us. 💕💕💕🐕
The technology is actually there but if animals could perfectly communicate they would need rights and shit. It’d be a whole big mess, can’t let that happen
I learned so much from this video. Approximately 10 weeks ago I adopted a one-year-old Lab/Staffordshire mix rescue. Ginger had spent her first yearliving in a crate, in a metal kennel in a wharehouse with some 200 dogs. She had a LOT of catching up to do. At first I struggled with her immense vocalizations. She was trying SO HARD to communicate with me but I was not yet speaking her language. I knew she :needed" but I did not know what that need was. As time has moved on, I am doing better with her many yips, howls, barks and growls. But having this way of communicating would have helped me so much quicker.
I am more amazed at that dogs memory then the fact it can talk. You can see even the human has to write down labels to remember which button does what
I had the same thought!
Exactly!
Good observation.
No, our memory is far better than a dog's. English has hundreds of thousands of words. The matrix of buttons makes it easy to remember because --- this is super important -- animals have no concept of vocabulary. The dog is not talking. It is just pressing buttons in a certain (very) short sequence to get the desired result.

This actually reminds me of how dogs get excited when they hear the word "park" or cry when they hear the word "bathroom"
Mine hides when she hears "bath".
@@evarogers8775 Oh, I "borrow" doggo and we often come back dirty from woods, so first thing I taught when we come in she goes to showering room. One treat per foot, set on a shelf (when a leg is already washed), and she can eat when I finish all four feet (plus other parts ofc, depending on time 1-3 more treats). So one treat when I only open the water, more if I actually wash.
@@evarogers8775 My son's Whippet used to run away from me when I said ''Tiny, let me SMELL you!''...he knew it meant a BATH {because he had been rolling in Fox poo.} Dogs have a great understanding of words.
I lost my other dog's lead on a walk in long grass.... it was getting dusk, and I asked Tiny the Whippet ''where's your lead?'' {I ask this in the house too.. and he began searching on the field, and found it!
It's no secret that dogs understand language.
Our new dog {a Whippet} is also very vocal..Sh makes the same noises that have meaning that I understand.
My female dog knows exactly where she wants to go. I don't always take her out trough the same places and when we go out we don't always take to the park. She usually wants to go so when we start going a different direction she sits on the ground nad won't move but if I tell I will take her tomorrow she undertands and gets up and the next day holds me accoubtable to that. It really brings a whole new comprehension of the description of creatures in the Bible. Like the snake is described as cunning and so on
Or V.E.T.!
This is so unbelievably adorable and amazing that my heart can't take it.
When you think about it, this means that we have a much greater responsibility to animal life on the planet. This means sentience beyond hunger and basic needs. That dog said he “ loved” her. If she’s not giving him food to do this then this is a whole new level of understanding about the world in which we live.
Almost like how in the bible man was put over all the animals and given the duty/responsibility to rule/watch over them
Imagine Stella bears children and teach them how to use buttons to communicate with owner. That would literally start the whole new breed of pets down to generations.
Imagine talking with animals like normal in 50 years?
I talk to my dogs all the time. Even when their in the way i say "excuse me"

Dogs feel sorry for us because they communicate with each other without words.
All they require is a little time and 💖. When an animal tells you they love you, it's absolutely meaningful and special feeling.
It is amazing how quickly the dog trained the Human

Not only are dogs smart, the love they have to give is so special! It's so beautiful seeing the bond they have with their owner
I have a yellow lab...he is a very intelligent dog... whoever said dogs are not intelligent has never owned one
Hello beautiful. How are you doing
True
and guess what the pigs u eat are even more intelligent than your dog. so stop eating them .if they could talk all they would say is HELP& STOP KILLING ME AND MY BABIES
You're generalizing, not all dogs are.
I own a dog. He’s not intelligent. He repeatedly eats things that are not edible and make him sick. He destroys things despite training/punishment. He destroys his own bedding over and over, so we just stopped getting him bedding. He has destroyed my back yard. I would get rid of him but my wife and children want him so we keep him. Not all dogs are intelligent and neither are the humans that put up with them and encourage them.
Animals have souls too.... they think, and they communicate different but in an universal lenguaje
My Bichon (who died a few years ago 💔) understood the English language so well. I wished I could have taught him to use this system to communicate with me verbally. Although, I have to say we understood each other without it. He was incredibly smart.
Assalamualaikum greetings from the royal family 🌷💖💖🥀u

Your Bichon did not die...his spirit will always live in your 💖 and soul🐾🐾 I have a Shihpoo and she has always been super smart. Now that she's getting older (17 in a few days) she's a little tired soul but I know what she needs....We train each other along our journey together.💖
My dad has a Bichon Shih Tzu mix and she is crazy smart too :) She has different grumbles, barks and dance poses. She even has this "fake sneeze" when she really wants/demands something. I'm going to order some of these because sometimes she looks/gets frustrated when we're not smart enough to understand her. (like when she lays down, puts her chin between her paws and exhales heavily as if to say "idiots")
@@robnation2475 she is saying, "idiots".....My dog gives me that 👀👀WTF.😂😁😉☺😊😀😃😄😳 It's true that we humanize them.
Woah I really liked her approach to the dog as a more individual perspective rather than owner- pet. We don't own any living creature. I think she understands that and that allowed the dog to express itself to her. I feel.
th-cam.com/video/WBED5i1DAZg/w-d-xo.html
In this situation if the dog had liked the lady better (better treats, bigger house, funnier voices, whatever reason) and stayed at her side, you'd be for the lady keepings that guy's dog? Idk about that one man, i think if you buy a dog then its your dog
@Sunday Girl not even close to more people prefer "parent" over "owner" that's disconnected to say, I'd look at the part of town you live in and people you talk with as to why you would think you're in the majority. It's not symbiotic, its parasitic, entertainment doesn't equate nearly to getting life handed on a silver platter to the point of literally getting their crap picked up
@Sunday Girl if "love" was enough to offer for food shelter healthcare for literally the rest of ones life, I'd still be living with my parents 😂
@@illosovic we actually have some horrible ownership laws in the USA. If I murdered your dog, in some areas, it would not be treated as worse than theft of minor property. Additionally, your comment is asinine.
Pressing individual buttons recognizing individual words - many dogs actually learn the meanings of some words they hear every day. But the fact that she is putting the "words" into sentences is absolutely amazing. Maybe, this proves that dogs are actually much more intelligent than anyone knew.
I found it fascinating that Stella seems to know that sometimes one word is not sufficient to communicate what she wants to communicate. She seems to have realized that although each word has a meaning of its own, putting words together makes them mean something else.
This woman is BRILLIANT! Stella is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! I wish MORE people understood HOW EMOTIONALLY INTELLIGENT DOGS ARE! ❤️💋❤️💋❤️
There needs to be a button that just yells “SQUIRREL”!
I think she had one that means "bird". Might be confusing her with another dog though. I've been following Stella's progress since she was a pup. (Plus some others.)
The words were - see, bird, outside. It was a plane. ✈
@@ThePinkBinks I was being silly and was referencing the animated movie UP, where a dog is able to speak through a hitech collar, and while speaking to people he will randomly yell "Squirrel", while thinking he had seen a squirrel in the background.

There's also another dog named Bunny, and two cats, one named Russell and one named Billi that all use buttons too. It's crazy cool how smart animals are.
Bunny's expressions are amazing. Billi is just full of personality! I will have to look for Russel. Thanks for the tip.
My dog would only need the "Food" button 😂
Right lol
@Silicon Nomad yes! 😂

Yup
My dog eats great food and gets treated regularly but is super food driven
I hung a bell on my front door knob and taught my golden retriever to bump the bell with her nose when she wanted to go outside. It's said dogs can learn 100 to 200 words. Amazing what what they can learn if we take the time to work with them... just like our children! 💞
With her book I taught my dog how to talk. It’s amazing! And then he taught all the other dogs in the neighborhood how to talk too. Now we’ve got a bit of a “planet of the apes” situation going on here, but hey, these dogs can tell us how much they’d love to see US in cages. 😟

I find it amazing how you can truly see the dogs personality. Instead of pushing outside come now. He pushed outside come when. Shows that he's not a very demanding dog he's asking her not telling her. That's pretty cool.
A dog that no longer barks... runs to a board "outside, come, help" when there is an emergency or a break in.
Try entering the house and dog will bark and run away or if its guard personality, then it will run towards you barking and will charge at you . Its in the genes, thousands of years of evolving. It will not go with speech training. It only reduces no. of times she barks in a day as she can now precisely tell what she wants.
I don't know about other dogs. But my labrador can communicate using 8 different words accurately. And will still bark at anything unusual.
Just because she barks less doesn't mean she will not bark at all. If it's beneficial to bark instead of using the buttons she will probably bark. I know a different pet that was trained to use the buttons, meows from time to time in response to questions or to get the owner's attention despite the fact that they have the buttons there.
The buttons just make it easier for the dog to communicate with the human and aren't intended to nor do they eliminate barking completely.
@@David-gj9qr thank you. Understood and well received.
@@sushilkumarsharma2131 wonderful, nice to know.

Stella Can Spella! 😊
That's how she got her groove back
Sooo touching. Such a loving thing to have done with your dog. I feel like my dog is such an amazing communicator but I know there are times I don’t know for sure what he wants and I feel bad.
This woman (and of course this dog) but especially this young woman, is so incredibly bright. If I had a child who needed some kind of speech therapy, this would be my gal. I would want so badly for her to be the one helping my child. this is absolutely amazing. It almost made me cry. I recently lost my dog of 12 years. He was my best friend. And I always used to tell people he understands words, he really honestly does. They are such wonderful creatures. And this young woman’s idea, as well as the effort, time, and work which she has put into this idea, in order to help her dog communicate, is nothing short of amazing. And of course to see how much love she has for her dog, and how much love her dog has for her, is just beautiful. I love everything about this, so much. ❤️

Stella: “outside” “now!”

I taped a piece of chalk to my cat’s paw and put a small blackboard on the floor, and he wrote out a formula for making fusion energy work. After that, he had such a swelled head he expected fresh wild-caught salmon at every meal.

Hey Boris...GOOD one! Have him write out the Bill of Rights and I'll SEND him a salmon! Seriously, this is a money making racket. We can all sniff them out...Poor dog, let him BE a dog.
Hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!! 😂 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
our cat suggested he knew about space flight so we taped him to a bottle rocket and fired it. He should be back with the data any day now
from watching videos of these I actually learned how to better communicate with my dogs and can train them on things much faster now
I wish they made buttons small enough for pet mice. Some of my mice behave very much like tiny dogs and many scientists claim their intelligence is equal to dogs. I think with my mice 'outside', 'cuddles' and 'cheezies' would be their favorite words lol But then it could be a lot more. My mice amaze me every day, it would be so cool to be able to see more how their tiny brains work.

This feels like an important step toward more communication between dogs and humans. It’s clear there’s a lot of language-like thought that’s going on in this dog’s head, and these buttons are a great step toward enabling some expression of those thoughts. I wonder how complex her phrases could get if she weren’t held back by limited buttons. There’s serious room for more experimentation here. Imagine if we could all communicate much more closely with our dogs.
More reason to love dogs. They’re so smart and can prove it if we pay attention and give them an opportunity.
Kudos to the owner.
My dogs are huskys, so...super vocal, we use the buttons and it’s the best! Like anyone, they love to be understood.
I was wondering if Huskies or similar talkative dogs would be the best at the buttons
You are the queen of empathy. Thank you!
I tried this with my dog. The only thing he ever learned to say was, “the cat did it.” 😒🤷🏼♂️

@@DolphinsPlayingInAquaMoonlight nope, never have and now that I know this disturbing fact I never will. Is that why they're called that? 🤣
My chihuahua does the same thing. She will run to us after going to the bathroom on her training pad and ask us to clean her rump. Dogs want to be clean too.
@@PyroNinja713 They can just have long fur that is more like hair into which poop particles can be trapped. If you don’t pay attention and groom them properly, the poops can accumulate, blocking more poops from being able to be excreted properly, which can be a problem in itself. I just get my shih tzu shaved completely every few months.
I noticed that other dog owners would take credit for starting this when this woman wrote a book and sells the buttons
Nobody is taking credit for that. They are simply getting inspired by her. This woman's buttons are not grouped in a intuitive way btw. Bunny's human has done a much better job in that respect. This is an idea that improves and gets better when more people and dogs take part in it.
@@nillyk5671 the comments are telling her she’s not the first because they’ve seen other people do it before they saw this lmao

This woman is definitely not the first to do this. Lol. People have been doing this for a few years now, and posting on social media.
@@Jess-lf2fe Stella is the first. Because of her a whole project was started and now many dogs are involved, including the popular dog Bunny.
Literally she could put any words out there and when the dog pushed them, she would make up a narrative of why it made sense.
Yeah, I would have to see it duplicated.
My thought as well.
Exactly.
Right, cute dog though
One could - but if u go on Instagram, you'll see early videos where the humans interpreted Stella incorrectly & Stella said No! For example, the owners thought she wanted a treat, a peanut butter bone - but Stella corrected that! What dog says no to a treat....ever??? Stella did! She also conveys the order in which she wishes to eat & play!
I have done this with my cats, except w/o the buttons. I learned several years ago, that if you just repeat simple words and demonstrate the meaning, they will pick it up. They have and we communicate easily.
This is awesome! Well done! After I was retired from the military a friend asked me to take a dog in and train her. They named her Sister. I thought it would be a fun experiment to see if I could train a dog listen for specific multiple syllable words before reacting. To add an additional layer of fun to the experiment, I used only German. I did this to determine if sister would react to the English my friends were using as well as the German that I was using. As you know, the German language is renowned for its multiple syllable words. I was amazed to see Sister learn to react to large words such as Lebensmittelladen (Grocery Store) as well as simple words like Kuss (Kiss) and yet still retain the same reaction to the English words. To date I have experimented with Sister reacting to numbers etc. This has been a blast. Sister now lives with me permanently. It seems she preferred my company to that of my friends, she refused to let me leave her. Another hilarious and unexpected episode. Pets can be so much fun and can surprise you how much they can learn!
Plot twist: your dog is so hilarious and witty that you start him on a comedy tiktok that goes viral, and your cat has the soul of a sweet trailblazer who cusses like a sailor and wishes for a cigarette

Not a plot twist
Billi speaks is the best example of cat To human communication... She is a cat who is learning with this method . Stellas story is helping us breach the human / animal communication barrier. It is remarkable to watch a cat express their exact needs and desires. She even forms thoughtful questions and statements by combining words to form new combinations..
It is so facinating. Perhaps one day we will somehow give them custom "voice" boxes... Lol

Lol when does he want you to be quiet ?
Okay this is amazing
I'd be interested in seeing if dogs passed the skill onto their puppies like that gorilla did to her babies. And I'd be interested in seeing dogs and cats communicating through the buttons.

The game change here is the dog has been given the ability to speak in human words. Dog's recognize words they hear constantly and connect the sound to an action or thing but being able to speak words in this way. Stella is a lucky dog to have such a clever human.
