Dogs show us their thoughts and feelings so many different ways. Barking, pawing, movement/gestures, bringing us items, wagging tails and more. Sometimes we take the way dogs tell us things for granted. Dogs already communicate with their owners daily.I love that Christina’s creative thinking and desire to give her dog a voice, has meant that others have been able to teach their dogs to talk and encouraged out-of-the-box thinking around what dogs can achieve.
Dogs are intelligent animals, with such an impressive capacity to learn! What Stella has been able to achieve just highlights how much dogs can be capable of when given the opportunity and support. ‘How Stella Learned to Talk’ shares Christina and Stella’s story, alongside tips and tricks Christina has developed along their journey to help you teach your dog to talk too! But, before she knew it Stella was actively using her buttons to communicate her wants, needs, thoughts and feelings. She was exploring uncharted territory and trying something completely new for the dog world. When she bought home her puppy, Stella, she quickly identified similiarities between Stella and her clients and began to consider the role AAC could play in supporting Stella’s communication.īefore long Christina had created the first dog-friendly AAC device, using large recordable buttons to provide Stella the opporunity to communicate using human language. ‘How Stella Learned to Talk’ ReviewĬhristina Hunger is an American speech-language pathologist, who has worked extensively with children utilising AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) to help them communicate. Now, stop imagining and get ready to do! The talking dog revolution has begun and I, for one, could not be more excited to see the evolution of how we communicate with our pets. Imagine if your dog could talk to you? As in, actually communicate his needs, wants and thoughts using human language! Just picture the conversations you could have, the insight you could gain and the relationship you could grow. 
It is time for a communication revolution.” – Christina Hunger “It is time to unite the human and animal worlds through language.
