😂

I saw another video, it might have been a compilation of talking dogs, and it included a cat repeating the word "MAD" hahaha...how appropriate for a cat.

" Clean" "Litter box"

I see she trying to take over the world like a normal cat like I see lol

😂

Yesssss it is so precious and amazing. One of my favorite videos

I can only imagine the implications this could have for veterinary medicine

You will feel sad for her when you watch her existential crisis videos...

I was floored!

I thought the same thing!!

My poodle does something similar, she doesn't have that many toys.

Wow amazing

I never had toys when I was a kid so if I told my doggie to go get Corky, she'd have to fight me for it.

I’m not surprised by any of your stories!! Poodles are so, so smart. I have a poodle story also from when I was little, several actually ....but I’ll keep it to just the most special one, for sanity sake 😬 I’m 51 and I grew up on my grandparents farm. On this farm I had my beloved poodle mix (my mom called her breed a “Heinz 57” when people would ask).... her name was Lambsy... she was my constant companion from the age of 4.... On our families farm (on the same property) also lived my Aunt, uncle and my 2 cousins.... their house was about 2 football fields away from my grandparents, in the forested mountains of Oregon...... our family had 120 acres.... I frequently would walk home to my grandparents house, from my cousins.... in the pitch black forest at night time..... it was terrifying... I always remember being scared waking home....but Lambsy was always my little buddy there with me!! One night, when I was 8 years old....I was walking home from my cousins house...it was winter time, so it was dark early.... My gramma had called me home as it was dinner time....we were half way to grammas house when Lambsy just stopped, dead still in her tracks.... as though she had hit a wall.... the hackles on her back went straight up..... I could see them in the moonlight.... she began a low... guttural... growl... I had NEVER heard my girl growl at anyone... EVER... something told me that something was very wrong and I instantly became riddled with true, genuine FEAR......I completely froze.... Up ahead of me in the moonlight... I could see a thin.... ratty looking...tall.... long haired dog pacing back and forth... very slowly...it’s legs were insanely tall.... I had never seen anything like it....it was doing a weird clicking sound.... similar to what cats do when they see a bird..I could hear more clicking coming from deep in the woods, to the left of me...it sounded in stereo.... and the clicking was like it was answering the tall dogs clicking.....it was all around me... I finally realized that wasn’t a dog.... it was a coyote..... and it was hunting us...... it was telling the other coyotes what to do with the clicks....I knew I was in trouble..... BIG TROUBLE....my grandpa always told us grandkids over and over and over what to do if this happened with either wolves or Coyotes...look big.... put your hands in the air.... put your chin to your chest (that’s where they attack children at) and scream as loud as possible for grandpa.... no matter where we were... scream for grandpa!!!.....but don’t look them in the eye or show any teeth......and the number 1 rule was .....DONT RUN! NEVER RUN!! My Lambsy took off like a bolt of lightning...... I had never seen an animal run so fast!! I started to scream for grandpa..... because of the field it carried my screams!! Right as Lambsy took off running.... the howling started... it was SO LOUD and it was all around me, it sounded like it was 20 of them....It was debilitating .....it was so loud that it was disorienting ...... I became so frightened that I instantly wet myself... right then and there.... I really thought I was going to die... My Lambsy ran home and body slammed herself on the porch door until my grandpa opened the it..... she never behaved like that...she barked and barked and barked.... staring right in my grandpas eyes....grandpa knew.... I was in trouble.... something was very wrong...we were always together...and she came home without me...he grabbed his shotgun above the door frame....ran outside with his slippers still on and heard all the howling....he heard it mixed with my screams...grandpa said later that my screams made his hair stand on end... Grandpa ran outside and fired two shotgun blasts in the air...BANG.....(click click) BANG.... I can still remember the sounds of the echoes in the valley so clearly..... instantly there was rustling in the bushes as the coyotes were scared away.....my grandad ran towards me as fast as he could..... he screamed at me to “RUN CHILD!!! RUN!!! JUST RUN!!! I ran into his arms..... He scooped me up and took me inside .... his cheeks were all wet.... he had been crying!! My big tough grandpa had been crying 😢 .... it still gives me the feels thinking about that moment.... My gramma ran me a bath and made me some hot chocolate ....no one said a word to me about me wetting myself!! ❤️💕 My Lambsy sat beside us at the dinner table that night and had her very own piece of chicken! 100% that dog saved my life.... if I weren’t killed ....i for sure would of been severely injured....Coyotes are very dangerous to small pets and children....... no doubt about it those coyote’s were hunting me.... until the day my grandparents passed away... this story was told at every family get together.... over and over and over about our smart, beautiful Lambsy..... Anyways.... that’s my story of the smartest dog I’ve ever known... aside from the day my gramma died.... the day my Lambsy died was the second saddest moment of my life.... even still at 51 years old......She was my most trusted friend in the entire world ❤️💕🙏 I was so blessed to be her human. Thanks for reading our story and honoring my Lambsy ❤️💕

@@trina7274 wow, what a terrifying, beautiful story! Lambsy sounds like she was an incredible companion. 💗

like walking around the house on the phone

Maybe movement helps them think!🤔

Thats the "thinking walk" if i ever seen one

People should try this technique.

But the thing is... Their brains are not optimized for human language the way humans are. So that means this is just a byproduct of their intelligence. Gotta respect their intelligence in the areas that they have it

biggest same

If you love a dog, it will just step on buttons and you'll know what they mean

Exactly

is it "I don't like" ? or "unhappy"

Unknown/foreign object or entity

I think stanger means "something I don't understand."

@@mrs.t7254 That was my first thought.

Yep, left paw dominant.

😂😂😭🥺

Left...pawded?

Yes she is. I just love her conversations with her family. Their interactions just make me feel so happy to see ❤

Most dogs are left pawed

“Stranger” “Inside” “Bad” would be even scarier lmao

Im scared

I would immediately press “bite” “ hard”.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I’ve literally seen a video of her saying something like “stranger outside”… turned out to be a seal in the water ☺️

Dearest Marie, there is surely more life awaiting you. I encourage you in your difficult but brave journey! If we continue to seek new experiences even through UKposts - like with Bunny - we continue to grow and expand. Onward...!

Good luck and hope you recover 100%

Thank you for your beautiful message to this community. Thanks for sharing. Know you are not alone. Life moves on. You can do it x

Love you don't give up

marie, wishing you all of the best, your comment struck my heart and i truly hope you are feeling better. take care 🙏

@Rene' Craig We created dogs, not God. He created wolves and we bred them from wolves

@Rene' Craig Dogs can already communicate well with other dogs. It is just interspecies communication that is difficult.

True

it is fake

She's not though. I'm sure she associates certain words with actions, but that is a far cry from "using language" or "communicating like a human" which animals are not capable of. It is simply impossible that she adapted the word "stranger" to describe "an unknown/unwanted thing in her paw." It's a nice happy story but it's naive to believe dogs can communicate like humans.

having companion animals is such a beautiful part of life. hopefully this helps us move beyond enslavement rhetoric like pet/owner

I will say it! I don’t wish my dog could talk. He has only six buttons because her was driving us mad with the six that he has. Out, play, walk,hungry, ball, I love you. If I don’t immediately comply with is wishes for 1 thing. He starts slamming ALL the buttons, if I tell him to STOP he hits I LOVE YOU and just looks at me.

i wonder how much our dogs are suffering in silence

HUMANS are murderous barbarians . stop killing pigs they r even smarter than dogs

@@Hili24pur yeah but they taste so good

This vid had me reflecting on countries where dog meat's legal (and learning that it was legal in most US states before 2018)...and how long it would take to modify that based on what's going on here.

People suffer in silence around you all the time. You've just never noticed.

🤣🤣🤣👍

😂

Chile- My dog is wayyyy to dumb to speak

This is like top 10 comments I've ever seen LOL

😂😂♥️

You can still teach them

Right, like Bunny hurry and tell me more. Bunny: Mad Stranger Upstairs Robbing You Blind 😂

@@foodsthatstartwiththelette1745 that sent me lmfaoo

@DanRage47 no offense but why did you type this out to a comment it's not relevant to

Wow!

Oh holy shit, never thought of that. Maybe if bunny had pups she could teach them to use the board or something too.

Interesting question , I’m sure we’ll have a answer in the next year or two with the number of people trying this out

Dogs can't communicate with each other really they can just read body language

Yes!!!

...If they weren't conscious then they literally wouldn't be able to eat =\.

what shocks me more is the amount of people eating animals knowing about their consciousness

Possibly, if this is real. I can’t help thinking of Clever Hans from my Psychology 101 textbook back in the Spring of 1995 when I was a Freshman in college.

@@thomasschoeck9080 😁

It brings up questions of what would the world be like if most households with dogs and cats had these, and then if at that point, there's a moral obligation to supply lower income households with these free of charge, so that there aren't pets left without what could become a common skill for most of the world's pets.

@@toqkaizogou1636 Oh wow yeah it does throw open a lot of questions good point. Where do you draw the line between "it would be nice" and "it's required" when it comes to improving life? Not just the buttons but in general? Helping the homeless, saving the bird walking across the road, these buttons, everything. It makes me wonder where my personal line is.

Right? I want to get another dog now, so I can finally have a conversation with one.

Rofl

Lol 😆

🙄🤣🤣🤣

Lmaoo.........

haha

YESssss! Hilarious. Well said!

Mine too!!!😂

They are not that complex, and you could make one yourself

Dogs do not understand language/sentences. They are associating simple words with meaning. They don't understand a word like Love or know it's meaning at all. They just associate the sound of 'L.Of.' to pleasurable sensations they feel. This is because they don't have a Neo-Cortex , this is why communicating with single words with them is better than "Do you want to go outside" , all the dog hears is " duyuwannagOUTSIDE" and they recognize that sound OUT.SIDE. and understand that sound means somewhere else they want to go.

They do. Sometimes more than we

EXACTLY!

Ha ha! You got it right :)

Good point!!!!!!!!! 😅🙈👍🤣

Thing is, dogs don't have language. The gist of this experiment (except owner's fun) is not what dogs normally do, but what _can_ they do provided with the second signal system. Turns out, quite a lot.

how far could he go..... Jst to do that

Lol good luck teaching a rodent how to use a button

What is a chicadoodle though

@@iced_javascript1831 sheepadoodle = sheepdog & poodle.

Billie the cat did that lol XD

Sorry to break it, but there's no God... Also, intelligence depends on the tools you use. A lone monkey is less than a monkey, but give it a crowd, a way to communicate and a scientific method, and it builds a paradise.

✌

Amen

That was eloquently written. Beautiful ❤️

Suki: Wonderful response. Are you familiar with Alan Watts? If you are, I'm not surprised. If not, you will love him I'm sure.

Human is also animal

True. That would be hard. Animals live in the "now"

Reinforcement. Most dogs understand the concept of time already it’s just a matter of getting them to use it with u as well. Now versus night versus morning would be first. Out those buttons near each other too. Then tomorrow and yesterday would come next.

cats are smart and trainable too. I once taught a cat to roll over.

FluentPet is the model of her buttons.

@Rene' Craig Try to buy directly from the manufacturer if at all possible 🙏💚

@@adorable3817 yes but those were expensive. i just looked into them to see about getting some for my cat, but i can't even get a "test" kit because it's too expensive for me, let alone the other kits at $100+

@@neamhcridhe6475 🙄 they practically push people to Amazon

Yes, my cat Vinny truly thought and acted as if he were human. He used to talk a lot to everyone ( cat talk) and he used to hug everyone. He always wanted to be a part of any conversations being had. Oh, if only this were around when he was still alive. He lived 14 & 1/2 years. He was such a good friend.

@@cassandrasmith5265 Sounds like a wonderful cat! My Abby was also super smart. I can really see her using these sound buttons. She lived to be 13 years old, which is quite the achievement considering she was a borzoi mix (large sight hound).

I'm sure he loves you lots.

When your cat purrs, rubs against you, he is telling you in his own language he loves you. No need for buttons.

@@Terryh681 when my cat does that, she's either asking for food or to go outside ):

it would be interesting if there was a cat in the household where the dog is talking with buttons .....do you think they would both start using it to each other ???

@@whatadollslife omg can you imagine!😂

According to her Mom, Bunny has made up terms. Here is a quote from an Insider interview. Devine said: "One time on the beach, we saw a baby seal. Bunny was wagging her tail and looked so curious. When she came home, she pressed 'water' and 'hippo." Bunny has a toy hippo, so it's already on her button board and it seems that she thought the baby seal resembled a "water hippo".

I’m at least somewhat skeptical about this. From what I can recall I wasn’t able tell my parents that I had a headache or an earache (using words) until I was around six years old. For a typical dog that would be close to half a lifetime.

You can buy the communication system online, it's available for consumer purchase now :)

Lol

Well, dogs don't naturally have the second signal system, so it's down to the first one which isn't that hard. But this experiment, even if you do not implement its results, does well in us understanding of dogs' way of understanding the world around them and thinking in general, which can be useful on its own.

How’s everything going? Try using Spanish words. I know someone who had a rescue that wouldn’t react to words, so he tried saying commands in Spanish, and the dog quickly responded!! I wish I was able to show you some videos…

@@steph8455116 oh that’s funny! I’ll have to learn a bit of Spanish - although I could try french ‘ah, Tink, le dejeuner!’

Try saying walk and eat, instead of walkies and din dins. Dogs find that kind of nonsense to be condescending, and annoying.
