Titre : Chaser. Unlocking the Genius of the Dog Who Knows 1000 Words. Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : John W. Pilley, Auteur ; Hilary Hinzmann, Auteur Editeur : Oneworld Book Année de publication : 2013 Importance : 254 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-78074-702-6 Langues : Anglais (eng) Langues originales : Anglais (eng) Résumé : "The amazing story of a very smart Border Collie who is redefining animal intelligence.
Chaser has a way with words. She knows over a thousand of them - more 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 behaviours by imitation.
Yet astonishingly, Chaser isn't unique. John's training methods can be adopted by any dog lover.
While sharing the poignant story of raising Chaser, John shows how to incorporate learning into play and more effectively channel a dog's natural drives. His work with Chaser points us towards a new way of relating to our canine companions that takes into account our evolving understanding of the way animals and humans learn."

Polly Perks had to become a boy in a hurry. Cutting off her hair and wearing trousers was easy. Learning to fart and belch in public and walk like an ape took more time...
And now she's enlisted in the army, and searching for her lost brother. But there's a war on. There's always a war on. And Polly and her fellow recruits are suddenly in the thick of it, without any training, and the enemy is hunting them.
All they have on their side is the most artful sergeant in the army and a vampire with a lust for coffee. Well... they have the Secret. And as they take the war to the heart of the enemy, they have to use all the resources of... the Monstrous Regiment." (Back cover)Age : A partir de 10 ans A Discworld Novel, 31.
