Meet Copper the talking dog who uses sound buttons to chat with owner | SWNS

- This genius dog has learned how to 'SPEAK' using a sound board and can now ask to go walkies - and even tell its owners 'I love you'. Copper, a one-year-old red fox Labrador, has learned to press buttons with pre-recorded words to talk to her owner, Tia Herrell, 50. Now the intelligent pooch can press one of 40 buttons available to communicate her needs. She can ask to be let outside to do her business, and even knows, and communicates, where in the house Tia's daughter Savannah Herrell, 11, is located.
Speech-language pathologist Tia made Copper's first sound board herself out of wood, recordable buttons and heavy-duty Velcro in February 2020. Mother-of-one Tia, from Stevenson Ranch, California, USA, said: "I think it's so amazing I can speak to my dog and she can speak back.

If that dog was human it would be an expert typist. She doesn’t even look at the ‘keyboard’! Amazing!
Was going to say same thing!
These animals are so smart it's taken us humans this long to figure out ways to help them show us their potential
Ikr?
Yup, my dogs feel sorry for me cause they don’t need language they read minds. My little dog mimics my facial expressions to see how Im feeling. First time I noticed it was when I had a sinus infection & my eyes were kinda squinted. We clearly don’t deserve dogs.
@@ArnoldZiffle-jw2mv meaning other ppl saw it. I hugfed her told her sorry she's a being not a animal and we been on. Journey ever since that is cosmic tgats kept us together and I have only my connection to her that was new to change anything. Other factors but it was that at the time which got us here and it was not looking good but nobody was taking her so I figured I would
Dogs are so much smarter than most ppl give them credit for. My dog understands about 300 words.
Skyedog, whom I have had the privilege to be with only since 7 December last year, so not quite 3 months, gives me her paw then walks to the door to tell me when she needs to use the toilet. I look forward to other things she can communicate to me. She often looks deep into my eyes and stares for long periods...

This dog looks so fucking done with this whole thing. Like "Mom, why are you making me do this shit?"
I agree. Was just thinking the same thing.
Yeah, where's the new owner button.
I was thinking the same 😂😂😂
Looks like the poor dog has no clue of what’s going on
I'm glad she's not my mother can you imagine
I love how you can see the thought process and the gears moving in her head
I love how she just stood there on the outside pool buttons. I get it.
you can see the dog thinking before speaking quite astounding
She’s beautiful and so smart! Her playing in the pool was hilarious.
She's just pressing random buttons ...
@@carloslemos6919 ssh
@@carloslemos6919 wrong. I doubt we still dont know very much about dogs/cats brains. but they somehow understand the buttons and can build language (simplified)
So smart she doesn't look at the key before pressing it correctly.
Yes there is name tags for the humans to read but the dog can’t read but knows each one so well. We are the dumb animals.lol
@@Trapezius8oblique or it is totally random...
Yeah no shit the owner is making it seem like it was the dogs idea
this is how someone starts down the road of becoming a mad scientist.
She is such a communicative doggie!
All dogs are, it's just most people don't want to learn their language.
This is absolutely amazing i love the fact that technology is bringing dogs and their owners together. i originally heard them talking about this subject on the king and the sting podcast and i had to look it up and see for myself
LOVE THIS DOG
What a smart girl … if only my teenagers could communicate so well ….😂😂
My dog uses bells to go outside so I'm excited to get him these buttons so he can tell me food, water, treat but I'm worried I'm going to be his slave 🤣🤣
Those big ol paws 🥺💖
Why do I find dogs 10 times more adorable than babies?
Because you’re either weird or a dog yourself. I hope the latter.
I love Labbies- they’re so smart and mushy.
Pretty obvious the dog has been conditioned to push buttons in exchange for positive reinforcement any random button will produce something the dog likes so of course people will think that’s what the dogs intent was,
That being said it’s very beautiful dog and smart enough to play its owner
When we need to go out, my husband put on PBS for our dog as she loves their children’s programming, mainly cartoons the time of day we shop. She sees her favorite show come on, and she is literally, all smiles. In her brain she is thinking in English.
Could it be that she is just pushing buttons knowing that something will happen if she keeps pushing them?? 🤣
What there is see is that the dog is trained to push buttons and people are believing that somehow the dog is speaking, it's not.
@Gail Everett
They can learn to push them in order and associate the sound - no different than any other dog training where they link a word with an outcome. I did see one video many months ago where the dog pressed "why Mom poop" and the woman had a whole conversation with the dog about why she pooped. Well... as long as they are both happy I guess...
@Gail Everett I think the scientists will agree with Bruce to be honest.
My dog once asked me for a cup of tea - not by pressing any buttons, but by dashing into the living room as though she was desperate to go outside, then standing staring at the kettle. When I asked, rather baffled, "do you want a cup of tea?" she danced around and licked her lips. She'd learned the phrase "cupoftea" because those are the words I repeatedly used when I was making one for her (no sugars, more warm milk than anything else). If there were five buttons that said "I want cup of tea" and she learned to press them in order (and only then got her reward) then I could have trained her to do that too. But why put a dog through that when one button would do?
It's a fun thing to do for training and a great way to engage with a dog but a far better way is if the human just paid more time and attention getting to know their dog - they are speaking all the time.
@Gail Everett my dog is no more, unfortunately, but she was the dearest thing in my life and still is to this day. I used to have a cup of tea first thing in the morning and make one for her using the same tea bag and then add a load of cold milk. I was stunned when she stood at the open back door and wouldn't go out. I thought she was desperate for a wee. But then she burned a hole in the kettle with her eyes and looked back at me and back at the kettle. She was so happy with herself for getting her request across.
So in this instance, a single button would have done...but I doubt they have one that says "tea" 🤣
I can see after your explanation how the buttons would be useful for a dog. What was bugging me was the "human like sentences" - not from people like you who clearly know how to coach, but from those who think they are having conversations - verbally - with their dogs when they are clearly pressing random buttons and getting very confused. Some of the examples I've seen have been really poor.
I love that your daughter's dog can ask to have her ears scratched and then ask on behalf of another dog. That's really beautiful to hear 😊💫
@Gail Everett Yes, my dog - the lovely Sally (or Scally-wag as I used to call her) - has been gone for twice as long as she was with me. There just wasn't the knowledge back then for how to train them so it was all guesswork back then.
Raising a glass to our gone but never forgotten best friends.
P.s. do you think the mat could be programmed to train men? Or are they a lost cause? 🤣 xx
Wish we could explain to them when we can't give them what they're asking for 💕
Lol!! my dog is named Copper too and he kept going to his cookie jar when you were asking your Copper what she wanted.💜🥰🤗 similar kind of dog too.
Such a smart happy sweet dog ! Dogs cats horses are smarter than humans I think !
Someone loved you so much, that He died for you!!!
1 Corinthians 15:1-4!!!! Jesus came, died, was buried and rose again on the third day to prove that He is God the Son!!! Believe and you will be Saved!!! Admit you are a sinner! We all are! Jesus took your sin and offers you His Righteousness! Believe that He is who He said He is and that He did what He said He did! Call on His name and you will be Saved!! The time is short!! He is coming for His believers!!!! Any second now!!! You do not want to be left behind to face God's wrath!! Please, run to Jesus Christ! You are loved so much!!!
Just like my 83 yr old dad with dementia...doesnt look at the remote, just pushes random buttons.
Do you also give him some random treat and then call him a genius for requesting it?
@@briantw 😂
" speaking " or not, she's one beautiful doggy
Dogs are so funny when they don't get their way.
When I watch any of these videos, it always looks like they’re just pushing the button that is closest to them. I want to believe, I really do!
Check out Mila The Talking Dog. She is obviously communicating, not randomly hitting buttons.
This dog is absolutely a genius! Never saw another dog like this one. Amazing video
I love Copper! Such a great name. She has great accuracy too. She looks you right in the eyes and smashes that button! 😂
So engrossed in her programme, her buttons must be opening her world up hugely the more she learns 🥰
She is so lovely!
Nice my pup's name is Copper! He is a rhodesian ridgeback. Super intelligent and fiercely protective of our pack.
Oh my gosh this was priceless. Love it !
I only briefly watched this and I am so relieved to have found this channel because it seems to better help me to understand what is happening here than another channel I sometimes watch. Maybe it is because of the different temperament of this dog.
Copper is super smart. Her Halloween video with the "no stranger" is the funniest. such a sweet girl she is
Smart, adorable girl ❤️❤️
Aaawww I love her, sweet smart gurl! ❤😊❤
Amazing animal a gift from God. 👍👍

Would not be wise to teach cats this system. They would take over the whole world.

Too late…look for videos on You Tube.
Sorry she not he
😂😂😂Yes!!!
Beyond adorable!!!!! Love it, love it, love it! :)))
but mom.... POOL OUTSIDE.. hahahaa.. what a super intelligent little one... Kudos to mom for all the great training :-)
I love the look she gives sometimes- it just says "seriously? I have to press a button? Why don't you just KNOW what I am thinking?" -- and then she doesn't even LOOK at the button, she just steps on the right one for the conversation. Trusting that this isn't edited afterward to make her look more conversant. I have buttons for our pups- one says "OUTSIDE" and the other is "WATER" - the terrier uses the outside button and the beagle will let me know if her water bowl is low by using that button.

There is no doubt that dogs can learn simple “press a button and expect/know the result”. Pavlovian conditioning. Just if you always say the word “walk” when you’re taking the dog for a walk, they’ll learn it. But deeper, abstract concepts or sentences, there’s no evidence of that complex language skills like that.
She’s great! Very clever Copper girl! That cute sulk she does about her outside pool! 🤗💖
These videos are so cool. Dogs are so smart and cute
What an absolute sweetheart!
Dog is just stepping on the first buttons she sees. Reaching
That is how we learn.
What a clever device, and a cute dog!!
Nice job, brilliant puppy gurrrrl
Add a button that says " Please find me an owner/ companion that can provide me with some intelligent doggy conversation".
Just in knowing what dogs are capable of, is amazing
That beach is Heaven!
forget the response from Copper - this pooch seems to understand English language and is processing words & not commands. Then this becomes processed into thought & response. This is amazing. -- maybe Copper should give the human a board with buttons & you could learn his language.
Yah! So happy to see Copper here! I've missed seeing her videos. 😍
Cooper is perfect.
Can you put in subtitles so we can really hear what the button recordings say? That's what Bunny's owner does, and it helps to really know that the dog is pushing the right button. Just suggesting.
Anyone can put any subtitle. The truth is in the sound. Replay a few times with good volume 😌
@@reisdushanek9384 ….-_-
Bunny's family* (mom [generally mom] and dad)
Some of us rely on captions because we can't hear or can't hear well
I second this comment. I stopped watching early because I couldn't tell what was going on.
I love this so much.
She can press the buttons without looking at them😅 just like human using the keyboard😂
What a very smart dog good girl
I used to believe this to be true till I got a lab. Is the lab presses ball button and u give it ball, it does not mean she actually asked for it. My lab us always ready to play with squeaky ball even when she is deep asleep.
Smarter than most people I know, lol
Looks like she gets something positive, no matter which button she pushes. How is she "speaking"?
somehow this dog just being a dog is fooling this many people, its so wild to me. how is the dog outsmarting you people! he just wants treats/toys!
@@DinosaurSuccessyou are 100% right, the dog is being a dog. This one isn't even that good. It knows that if she presses a button she gonna get something, she has no clue what she's pressing, she doesn't even look at the buttons. People are so clueless 😅
That's outside? This Dog lives the life!
Dogs are very smart.
Yes! How advanced will our pets become? I'm looking forward to a type of waterproof floor mat for dogs that works like a computer instead of individual buttons that need batterie$. The mat will be able to easily charged up and can roll up like a rug and carried anywhere. Who needs aliens technology? People are brilliant! Someone needs to invent this!
Be careful for someone steals your idea.
I think the whole idea of the buttons is you start with one or 2 and make sure they really understand each button before you add more on, I’m sure they never expected to have him learn as many buttons as he has, it’s pretty spectacular
So cute.
per Pixar, really needs the button for SQUIRREL! ;)
Pretty much all of the buttons bring a positive result so he probably just pushes them at random hoping for the best. 🙂 But really, pretty cool.
People really underrate dogs. They are so much smarter than most people give them credit for.
if thats true it’s really not very cool at all
Thanks for sharing!❤️😍❤️
When the dogs pushes the button for ride. Look at the dogs mouth. He lip reads ride. No joke.
Awww that's pretty Cooper. U do a good job.
I said “POOL NOW!!!” - Copper
She just knows something good will come when any buttons pushed so she just pushes randomly and gets whatever don’t ya think?
That is absolutely 💯 AWESOME!!!! Love this!!!

That's why I admire these beautiful animals much more than I do human beings that's easy for me to say
There's a market for this... Seriously awesome..gotta search more videos now.. fascinating.. great idea!!! Patent it 👍❤️
If dogs really started talking, they'd no longer be man's best friend. 🤣
Yeah they would tell all of our secrets.
Wait until he asks his real name and not his slave name
I think the opposite. If only we would demonstrate their loyalty, acceptance, tolerance, and genuine affection no matter our mood and actions. I think they would always speak of us in high regard.
@@ambassadorlight3146 LOL..not they would gossip as everyone does. "you wouldn't believe what daddy did last night"
@@ambassadorlight3146 Dog is God spelled backward for those qualities
I agree with you 100%
I’m not sure how I feel about all these talk buttons. It’s cool but also makes me uneasy. I like the natural communication of actions, routine, body language. I think I would try to teach them to tell me if they feel sick or hurt but I don’t think I’d do all the other stuff.
So, not a dog owner then.
@@noellelebeau8588 yes, actually I am.
@@brassy49er37what are you so afraid of
Why does it make you feel uneasy? It’s just different form of training. Dogs and other pets already recognized words and such.
The “other stuff” helps model the communication method. Having them communicate when they feel sick or hurt is absolutely part of the end goal, but there needs to be practice in between, and hopefully your pet doesn’t get frequently sick so you have to practice with other activities first. That way, when something does happen, they know the method and it’s easier to teach them concepts like hurt, sick, etc.
I have long thought that if a dog could talk, he or she would just constantly tell people to give them treats or toys. We already know that's what dogs want most of the time, like a small child.
This is amazing.
The dog clearly has no idea that the buttons are different.
Great 😅patience training your golden baby 🌟🌟🌟 🌟 🌟
My dog would hit the treaties button day and night if I gave her one of these! Lol.
This is wonderful.
Thank you for sharing.
I love dogs 🥰
What a puppy dog!
Enjoying your work.
I wonder how far we could go with teaching them our type of communication. Fascinating!
@thomas prior intelligence doesn’t make you dominant. Look at our governments; no intelligence there yet, they are in charge.
Try the Bacon Strips commercial, my dogs used to come running from the other rooms to watch and bark with excitement. They must test dogs for treat marketing.
It doesn't even look at the buttons
The Bestest boy
Dog flails paw randomly on a random button without even looking and gets some random treat in return, now it's a genius.
Smart dog
Cute video!
If ppl could talk to their dog an they talked back you would hear the most interesting things like what it's like to hear conversation an movement from all directions an the thing that truly provoke other things cuz their faces is intelligent we stuck
I HAVE heard of that with Service Dogs, to tell people about their owners health problems.
Dog watching toy story 4 soo cute
Cute!🐶
Okay, I need to see this,and take notes. 🤣
