Meet Buster and Juno of @bustertoks, two extraordinary dogs who learned to communicate using a staggering 150 different words, thanks to these groundbreaking techniques rooted in positive reinforcement. Dive into riveting personal stories, laugh and shed a tear, as you gain insights into the fascinating world of canine cognition and human-dog bonding.

Inspired by the Augmented Interspecies Communication (AIC) community, this book is a heartfelt memoir and a practical guide wrapped into one transformative journey. Leveraging a unique background as a science teacher, an English educator to new speakers of the language, and informed by doctoral work in language acquisition, Susan Selle offers an unparalleled lens through which to view both the art and science of button communication for dogs.

But this book is more than just a captivating story—it's a deep dive into AIC and positive training methods. Building on the foundation set by Christina Hunger's 'How Stella Learned to Talk,' this comprehensive guide delves deeper into button training, effective communication strategies, and introduces you to the thriving, compassionate AIC community. It even includes a dedicated chapter to help your pup ace the Canine Good Citizen test.

Prepare to be educated, touched, and profoundly inspired by a book that celebrates the astonishing capabilities of our four-legged companions and the deep connections we share with them.
