!!!!

nice! I've seen the odd video for dogs (and cats!) around, but this is the first study I've seen for it

*for them using the buttons

there has been an ongoing study. Hunger for Words | Meet Stella, The World's First Ta... this one was the first one, but then more scientists got into it and created a specific format for the buttons and it is now a business

A Year of MadBilli is a cat and she's very funny.

Oh Billi . I think she passed recently, but she worked that MAD button like whoa

RIP Billi, mad respect for her 😔

There are some I find less believable than others. Like Bunny is a very popular button dog, but the level of fluency is hard to believe.

Why is Stella mad?

I was like, there's another dog with the buttons besides Bunny, it was Stella

Stella is The Original and she's very good

Talking Dog Buttons - Funniest, smartest, and BEST m...I found Mila today and she seems good also

i think my mom is either in the process of, or considering getting these for her dogs

and considering one of them is a border collie i'm like "yeah"

Oh damn, yeah, a border collie would do incredibly well with these

pitbull and 1yo border collie

oh, that'll be good....

buttons can be found relatively cheap in Amazon or Aliexpress but the fluentpet layout is v clever and makes it easier to add buttons and also for the dog to know what a new button means when they're introduced

I know cats are also smart enough to do the button thing but what owner is masochistic enough to listen to infinite "food food food food" calls at 3 am

one of my plurk pals has some for her border collie! iirc he especially likes combo-ing "walk" and "mad" when the weather is too nasty to go for a walk lmao

awww

gaisce: yes, my thoughts exactly

gaisce: this is what's stopping me. Val makes herself clear enough without

onedumbjoke: this absolutely checks out for a border collie

good dogs

pours one out for Billi

one of my friends got one of these for her cat and regrets it every day LMAO

all they do is press "food" and "now" constantly HAHAHA

and now that the cat can communicate it'd be cruel to take it away

so ur friend is trapped forever

in food now hell

yes exactly

this is why Val has no buttons. Once I give Val buttons I can't walk it back

Give Val a murder button to let her know she left you a present

"Murder murder murder"
