INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERAn incredible, revolutionary true story and surprisingly simple guide to teaching your dog to talk from speech-language pathologist Christina Hunger, who has taught her dog, Stella, to communicate using simple paw-sized buttons associated with different words.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.

Den utrolige historien om hvordan logopeden Christina Hunger lærte hunden Stella å kommunisere. Da Christina Hunger fikk valp i hus, tok det ikke lang tid før hun begynte å se en sammenheng mellom jobben sin og det nye kjæledyret. Hun jobbet med småbarn med forsinket språkutvikling ved å bruke en kommunikasjonsmetode kalt Alternativ og supplerende kommunikasjon (ASK) og begynte å tenke på hunders evne til å forstå språk: Hvis hunder kan forstå ordene vi sier til dem, burde de ikke kunne være i stand til å bruke ord selv? Kunne hunder bruke ASK til å kommunisere med mennesker? Christina bestemte seg for å teste Stella. Hver gang de gikk ut, trykket hun på en knapp på potestørrelse programmert til å si «ut» med Christinas stemme. Nå, få år senere, har Stella mer enn 30 ordknapper som hun bruker på daglig basis, enten hver for seg eller satt sammen til setninger. Stella. Hunden som lærte å snakke er både en memoar og en gjør-det-selv-guide. Den skildrer reisen Stella og Christina har hatt fra første dag sammen til Stellas første ord, og andre høydepunkter, i tillegg til å vise frem teknikkene på en enkel og trinnvis måte, slik at du også kan lære hunden din å snakke!

När Christina Hunger fick hem den korthåriga och storögda valpen vid namn Stella, ställde hon sig själv en enkel fråga: Om hundar kan förstå ord som människor säger till dem, borde de inte kunna säga ord till oss?Christina, som är logoped och jobbar med alternativ kommunikation för att lära barn med tal- och språkstörning att prata, hade ingen tanke på att starta en revolution inom djurkommunikation. Ändå är det precis vad hon - och Stella - har gjort. Tillsammans har de vunnit hundälskares hjärtan över hela världen och inspirerat forskare att styra sitt arbete i en ny riktning.Med hjälp av tasstora knappar, programmerade med inlästa ord, har Stella lärt sig att uttrycka sina tankar, känslor och önskemål. Idag kan Stella säga mer än trettio ord, som hon även kombinerar till enkla meningar. Som: "Säng vill gå ut", innan hon tar en tupplur ute i solen; hon ber om en promenad genom att trycka på "Hjälp gå ut" innan hon bekräftar med ett "glad" när Christina gör i ordning kopplet och hon säger till och med "älskar dig" innan hon lägger sig på rygg och väntar på att bli klappad.Hur Stella lärde sig prata är en oförglömlig berättelse om hur kärleken mellan en hund och en logoped förändrade världen. Det är också en förvånansvärt enkel guide för hur du kan lära din egen hund att prata. Och det är spännande läsning för alla som är intresserade av alternativ kommunikation, även för människor."En underbar bok." Temple Grandin, Författare till Animals in TranslationChristina Hunger är legitimerad logoped och grundare av Hunger for Words, en rörelse som ägnar sig åt att skapa verktyg för att kommunicera. Christina har specialiserat sig på alternativ och kompletterande kommunikation (AKK) för att lära barn med tal- och språkstörningar att prata. Hon bor tillsammans med sin man Jake och naturligtvis sin hund - Stella - i San Diego.
