On TikTok, Kenny is also known as 'The Talking Dog'. Yep, Kenny can really talk! He uses a board with buttons to communicate with his owners.
Using buttons to speak
In a recent video which went viral, Kenny could be seen asking for treats. At first, his mum asks him whether he wants treats or food. Kenny doesn’t waste a single second and runs to his sound board to click on the word "Treat".
He quickly returns to his mum for his reward but, unfortunately, is asked to go back again. His mum says: "Treat? Kenny, you know how to do sentences! Show me again!" So off Kenny goes again. And this time, he hits two buttons to form a full sentence: "Kenny want treat." His mum then gives him his well-deserved treat!
Canine sound boards
These soundboards have been popping up more and more around the world and facilitating owner-dog communication. Owners should start early with their puppies and always use positive reinforcement.
You do need to have a very smart dog, though; we’re not sure every dog would know how to use it!
