@hunger4words: When Stella doesn’t have a button for something, she finds her own way to say it. When she wants a puzzle toy, she says “play eat.” After she started using this consistently, I tried adding a “puzzle” button, but Stella kept going back to her original phrase. I’ve noticed she often prefers the words she invents herself. This happened with “bye eat” too. That’s how Stella asks for her Kong with peanut butter (the treat she gets when we leave). Even after I added “Kong” and “peanut butter,” she used them briefly… then returned to “bye eat.” What I love most is that she created these phrases over five years ago, and they’re still meaningful to her today. #hunger4words #dogvideos #talkingdogbuttons #buttontraining #aic
You don’t understand how insane this is that they’re figuring out how to extrapolate new ideas using learned concepts. Very similar to the process in which Koko the gorilla created “finger bracelet” to describe “ring”

"help mom where bed" is my favorite from my girl. She's asking me to find my bed, she has lots of beds including mine.

when we started our dog on buttons he had a play, potty, love, and outside button.
we'd take him out for 3 or 4 hours straight of hard playing and he'd come right back inside and start spamming outside button. Took it away and dude decided to alternate spamming "play potty" bc he knew potty meant going outside.

that's like families using the "inside joke" mispronounced word a child had. even after they learn how to say the actual word "sketti" instead of spaghetti. "geen beens" instead of green beans etc

My dog said playtime biscuits recently (she only has 5 buttons, playtime, biscuits, water, outside, and walk outside) and it took us ages to work out until she stood next to them and booped her favourite lmao
