Intro:<\/strong><\/p>\n A New York Times Bestseller<\/p>\n The amazing story of a very smart Border collie who is redefining animal intelligence.<\/p>\n Chaser has a way with words. She knows over a thousand of them\u2014more than any other animal of any species except humans. In addition to common nouns like house, ball, and tree, she has memorized the names of more than one thousand toys and can retrieve any of them on command. Based on that learning, she and her owner and trainer, retired psychologist John Pilley, have moved on to further impressive feats, demonstrating her ability to understand sentences with multiple elements of grammar and to learn new behaviors by imitation.<\/p>\n John\u2019s ingenuity and tenacity as a researcher are as impressive as Chaser\u2019s accomplishments. His groundbreaking approach has opened the door to a new understanding of animal intelligence, one that requires us to reconsider what actually goes on in a dog\u2019s mind. Chaser\u2019s achievements reveal her use of deductive reasoning and complex problem-solving skills to address novel challenges.<\/p>\n Yet astonishingly, Chaser isn\u2019t unique. John\u2019s training methods can be adopted by any dog lover. Through the poignant story of how he trained Chaser, raised her as a member of the Pilley family, and proved her abilities to the scientific community, he reveals the positive impact of incorporating learning into play and more effectively channeling a dog\u2019s natural drives.<\/p>\n John\u2019s work with Chaser offers a fresh perspective on what\u2019s possible in the relationship between a dog and a human. His story points us toward a new way of relating to our canine companions that takes into account our evolving understanding of the way animals and humans learn.. First published October 29, 2013.
