Christina Hunger has a viral Instagram where she is documenting her dog’s learning called “Hunger4Words” and a website with additional resources.

When the button is pressed, the contacts close.Have you ever wished you could teach your dog to talk? We know our dogs understand a tremendous amount of language, but what if they could speak directly to us? Can you teach your dog to talk? In short, the answer is yes.Ĭhristina Hunger MA, CCC-SLP, a San Diego based speech-language pathologist, has discovered a way to train her dog to actually speak to her using adaptive speech technologies - speech buttons pre-programmed with words that her dog Stella can select between to communicate wants, needs, and thoughts. The button activates a common arcade microswitch (included), the switch contacts are normally open. The LED has a built in resistor so you can run it up to 12V but given the massive size and shallow depth of the button, it doesn't illuminate the entire button face evenly. There's an optional LED included that will light up the button. This button has a domed red plastic cover with a black retaining ring around it. They're not waterproof or weatherproof, so best used indoors. We've seen these on some games of skill in arcades, they're easy to mount on nearly any kind of enclosure. Science has shown no one can resist pressing its shiny surface and saying 'beep!'. OMG WATCH OUT! This 100mm diameter arcade button with a 10mm deep plastic base is so massive and inviting it may collapse upon itself and form a black hole from which not even light can escape! Until it does, however, it ready for all sorts of pressing and pushing.
