“Christina Hunger trained her puppy to use words in a meaningful way. She was amazed that language learning in her dog was similar to that of a young child. The results speak for themselves. A wonderful book.” —Temple Grandin, author of Animals in Translation
A revolutionary true story and surprisingly simple guide from speech-language pathologist Christina Hunger on how to teach your dog to talk using simple, paw-sized buttons
When speech-language pathologist Christina Hunger first came home with her puppy, Stella, it didn’t take long for her to start drawing connections between her job and her new pet. During the day, she worked with toddlers with significant delays in language development and used Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) devices to help them communicate. At night, she wondered: If dogs can understand words we say to them, shouldn’t they be able to say words to us? Can dogs use AAC to communicate with humans?
Christina decided to put her theory to the test with Stella and started using a paw-sized button programmed with her voice to say the word “outside” when clicked, whenever she took Stella out of the house. A few years later, Stella now has a bank of more than thirty word buttons, and uses them daily either individually or together to create near-complete sentences.
How Stella Learned to Talk is part memoir and part how-to guide. It chronicles the journey Christina and Stella have taken together, from the day they met, to the day Stella “spoke” her first word, and the other breakthroughs they’ve had since. It also reveals the techniques Christina used to teach Stella, broken down into simple stages and actionable steps any dog owner can use to start communicating with their pets.
Filled with conversations that Stella and Christina have had, as well as the attention to developmental detail that only a speech-language pathologist could know, How Stella Learned to Talk will be the indispensable dog book for the new decade.
Part scientific journey, part step-by-step manual, this book reveals the simple, groundbreaking process of interspecies communication:
- A New Approach to Dog Training: Go beyond basic commands. Discover how Christina Hunger adapted powerful speech therapy techniques to teach Stella words, presuming competence from day one.
- Simple How-To Guide: Follow clear, actionable steps any dog owner can use. Start with a single paw-sized button and learn how to model words in ways your pet can understand.
- Understanding AAC for Pets: Learn the science behind Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) and see how Stella uses her soundboard of over thirty words to form near-complete sentences.
- From Memoir to Method: Experience the heartwarming journey of Christina and Stella, from their first "outside" button to the language explosion that changed their lives and offers a new way to bond with your dog.
