Talking Cocker Spaniel
What if your dog understood a lot of what you have to say but had no way to say it back without pawing and whining? After doing research, and reading How Stella Learned to Talk, I decided to move forward with Percy. The cats will probably follow suit.
Percy has picked up on 4 words in a week with ease. Outside, Food, Play, and All Done. This week I added Help, Percy, Love You, Water, Tug and Ball. I ended up taking Ball and Tug back up because I realized he wasn't navigating that many words on 1 board well yet.
I didn't manage to start recording when he pressed the Help button in this video but that's what he pressed right before I asked him what he needed Help with.
Having the ability to "Use his words" has really lessened some of his anxiety when he wants something. It takes time and patience for our family to model the words but we are all in. Even my husband, who was in shock at first that I spent money on buttons to help our dog "talk". 🐕
Pups got a Starbucks Pup Cup for their 1st birthday.
We love our spaniel puppy club family and these pups have such a sweet sibling bond. Best way to survive puppyhood, do it together with others!
