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?\u003cbr\u003e\nChristina 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.\u003cbr\u003e\nHow 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.\u003cbr\u003e\nFilled 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Book Depot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52430871200024,"sku":"BKD-SLT","price":11.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0986\/8401\/0776\/files\/original_e1cad511-41f6-4ba1-b6e7-508bc7ca6d69.jpg?v=1784764779"},{"product_id":"puppy-brain-how-our-dogs-learn-think-and-love-hardcover","title":"Puppy Brain: How Our Dogs Learn, Think, and Love (Hardcover)","description":"\u003cp\u003eHow do you raise a happy, healthy, and emotionally resilient dog?
