And so, the search for their new family member began. Perhaps best to mention a heap of patience and persistence was also in the mix.Īfter moving in together, Christina and Jake decided to become dog owners again, having both grown-up with a beloved family dog.
Mix the above with Christina’s profound observations and, before you know it, a dog is talking. An AAC device uses pre-recorded single words or phrases that can be accessed by pushing a button. As such, Christina is well versed in early language acquisition, plus she is passionate about the potential of ACC devices. First, Christina is a speech therapist who works with toddlers who have significant delays in language development. The whole ‘talking dog’ scenario sounds bizarre but really it is quite straightforward. How Stella Learned to Talk is a memoir of their life with Stella, a Blue Heeler Catahoula cross, including a step-by-step guide to explain how she was trained. That wonderful person is Christina Hunger, who alongside her partner Jake, taught Stella to talk.
But a very clever person has taught her dog to speak English via an augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) device. Caring dog owners have always known that dogs can communicate, many of whom are fluent in dogese. Finally! Someone has cracked the language barrier between us and our very best friends – dogs.
