Life gets a lot louder when a dog starts using talking buttons to demand a walk every day. Over at @flambothedog, a brilliant Australian Shepherd named Flambo is out to show he has quite a lot on his mind, and he’s going to let the world know about it. This clever dog uses a set of talking buttons to communicate exactly what he wants to do. His bio says he lives with his mom, Abba Furgason, and three siblings in Houston. And on a particularly nice day, Flambo decided it was time for a walk, so he made sure his request was loud and very clear for everyone to hear.
Dog uses talking buttons to ask owner for walk, and furry siblings join in, too
When the video opens, we see Flambo standing purposefully over his communication board. Then, he firmly presses the button for “walk” before sliding over to this side to hit his own name twice. Hearing the mechanical voice say “Walk Flambo Flambo” really makes his point.
Teaching a pet to use these tools involves a lot of repetition and treats, and so his breed’s traits, such as high energy and high focus on their tasks, really help here. He looks pointedly at his mom afterward to make sure she is paying attention. Then Flambo hops right into her lap as she repeats the request back.
Flambo started the talk, but he did not finish it alone. His brother York enters the frame the moment he hears the magical word. Mom asks if he wants a stroll too, which sends his excitement levels through the roof. Then there is Palmer, who was minding his own business in the corner with his toys. He comes running the second he realizes a group outing is happening. Someone in the comments rightly called these pups “huffely and snuffly” while they wait. All of them clearly want to get moving.
The clip has over 20,000 likes because people love how clear Flambo is. Abba mentioned that the weather was just too good to stay inside. One viewer joked that “Flambo said only Flambo” should go. Another person loved how he jumps on his mom when he feels understood.
