Dogs help explain how children learn language

I came across this fascinating story about Chaser – a clever border collie who lives in the USA who knows 1,022 nouns, a record that explains the unexpected depths of the canine mind. The experiment proved that Chaser acquired a referential understanding of nouns, an ability normally attributed to children. According to the article, most border collies with special training could be pretty close to Chaser’s achievements. Now that’s a challenge for those of you who own one. Make sure you let me know of your progress! Happy training
