Description
Imagine your dog telling you what she wants, needs, or feels -- using real words.
Button training opens a powerful new channel of communication between you and your dog, giving your dog an empowering way to express herself -- even if you've never trained a dog before.
In this practical, science-informed, and heartwarming guide, veterinarian Karen E. Mueller, DVM walks you step by step through teaching your dog to "talk" using sound buttons. With clear explanations, real-life examples, and thoughtful problem-solving strategies, you'll learn how to build a communication system that works for your dog and your home.
Inside, you'll learn how to:
•
Choose the best first words for your dog
•
Set up a button board for success
•
Build word meaning through consistent use
•
Tell true communication apart from random presses
•
Add new words without overwhelming your dog
•
Troubleshoot common training challenges
•
Support senior dogs, multi-dog households, and special-needs learners
Along the way, you'll meet Paddy -- a real-life button dog whose unexpected "conversations" bring humor, insight, and unforgettable moments.
Whether your dog is a still a puppy, a curious adult, or a wise senior, button training can deepen your connection, build confidence, and give your dog a meaningful new way to be understood.
Start the conversation. Discover what your dog has been trying to tell you.
