10/19/2025

Ruby learned a new bird call - - Chickadee.

This is day three of Ruby’s introduction to learning bird calls with talking dog buttons (FluentPet). Ruby reviewed “Blue Jay” and “Robin”. Today, Ruby was introduced to the call of the “Wood Thrush”. I’m using marker training.

This is day one of Ruby’s introduction to learning bird calls on the FluentPet system. Two buttons were introduced “Blue Jay” and “Robin”. I’m using marker training.

Social Talking. It's interesting as Ruby's training continues with her FluentPet "talking dog buttons" to observe how she mixes in social conversation, about wanting to see birds at the park, and learning how to count from one to six.

Counting Numbers. Today's counting of numbers 1 to 6 Ruby's emotions spanned from happy to mad to ugh. There are many comical moments throughout the day as Ruby talks with her buttons. Numbers training provides much comic relief.

Ruby received her FluentPet package and has 12 new words. Ruby was feeling "ugh" and "mad" learning to count her numbers 1 to 6. I guess the key takeaway is --- similar to kids in school; maybe Ruby is not to fond of learning math.

Teaching Numbers 4, 5, 6 with FluentPet Connect Get Started with Base Kit. I'm using marker training and modeling behavior to teach sound button location and meaning of words four, five and six.

Ruby, is receiving several forms of communication to help her achieve success with learning words: vocal (I'm saying four, five or six); signing (I'm holding up my fingers for each number), talking / sound button (each button is programmed with a word); and marker training (I'm using the word "yes" with a training treat to capture the behavior of Ruby pushing the correct button).

Day 2 Teaching Numbers 1, 2, 3. I'm using marker training and modeling behavior to teach button location; and meaning of words (one, two, three). I'm also using sign language as a visual for one, two and three. The following communication is being utilized for Ruby's success with numbers: vocal, signing, modeling, talking button and marker training.

When teaching new buttons Ruby is focused on words she already knows well. In the video, the button words she already knows are actually a distraction to learning the new number buttons. I could have isolated the hex tile with the numbers 1, 2 and 3 to keep her focused; but, I chose to give her access to all of her buttons.

How To Teach Numbers. Ruby was introduced to numbers using marker training and her talking dog buttons. I started at the beginning with teaching one, two and three. Maybe she will be able to add and subtract in the future.

Thinking It All Through. Ruby has her moments during the teaching session that make you want to smile.

Ruby Poodle Talk. 30 Buttons lots to say including lots of love you. 12 more buttons coming in next week. 42 words in total coming soon.

Ruby Asks Mom If She Can Train With Frodo. Ruby has a hiking buddy Frodo-poodle, and she asks frequently about spending time with him but never to train. Could be a future date.
