I'm Pilley Bianchi - daughter of Dr. John W. Pilley who is the owner/researcher/trainer of Chaser the border collie. Chaser has the scientifically largest language learning of any animal in the world. His research has been published in Elsevier's Learning & Motivation as well as Behavioral Processes. Chaser understands over 1000 proper noun names as well as different elements of grammar, understanding that each word has independent meaning and she has been dubbed by the international media as "The Smartest Dog In The World." I have been a co-trainer/producer of Chaser for the past 8 years.

I have been behind the scenes in collaborating with 60 Minutes US, 60 Minutes Australia, Nat Geo Wild, NBC Today Show, ABC World News Tonight with Diane Sawyer, ITV's Secret Life of Dogs to name a few as well as print articles with TIME, PEOPLE, NY TIMES, USA Today, Popular Science, Paris Match, etc. I currently continue to work with Chaser since my father's passing June 17th, 2018.
