we spent three weeks teaching, our dog commands, such as outside, hungry, treat, and love…. All the things she routinely whined for. It was amazing. He learned them all, and there was no more whining. Then, in less than a month after we got them, four of them broke. Our dog pressed on them gently and was not hard on them. It was like they all froze up and would not depress anymore. I feel like we’ll be back to the starting point if I order more and wait for them to come in.

My cats love them. But less than a month using them and 3 of the buttons are broken.One wouldn't record right out of the box. Two have since failed.I'll have to try another company, I guess.

Love the idea of this. When the weather got colder and I didn't want to leave our main door open for the puppy to get out anymore I got these buttons. It was really easy to set up, I have one taped to the floor near the door for him to go "outside" when he needs to go. He learned relatively quickly that when he hits the button he can go out. After awhile the button got worn down (probably because he sometimes body slams it down) and I had to replace it with a new one, so it's a little cheap quality, but definitely worth it. It has saved us as we were potty training him and he totally gets that the button allows him access to go potty. I ended up bringing one to work and he has started using it there too. The word stickers are good quality as well and stayed once placed on the button, I just wish there was repeats of some for when I replace the button.

We have a 12 year old miniature poodle, smart as a whip. We started with the treat button. She got overly excited about the idea of just getting treats when she usually would not and buttons went flying everywhere so I had to set the others aside. She grasped the concept quite quickly but the second time I sat down with her she made it clear she never had to work for treats before and doesn't want to now. She had already gotten several small bites so decided to put iit away so frustration didn't build up. I went into the kitchen and she went into the hallway and started whining for more treats. I told her they were all gone. She walked over to the treat button and very deliberately stepped on it and gave me a look that said we both know we have treats in this house. The next day she pressed it twice on her own when I wasn't near but has not taken advantage of it. What she seems most excited about is the go for a walk button. I have been laid up with allergies and not walking outside so she has been stuck in the house. I can get outside again so I pressed the go for a walk button and opened the door. She didn't go out so I closed the door but she still looked expectant so I told her to press the button which she did and then we went for a walk. She went for four short walks that day because she pressed the button. She also has an outside potty button I started pressing when I took her outside. Last night I called her to the back door, pressed the button and opened the door. She didn't go out so figured she did not need to but in hindsight I realized I hadn't opened the door far enough and she looked puzzled when I closed the door so I said press the button and she did and immediately went outside. I also had a come eat button that she had only heard me press once. I was on the phone and she was giving me the eye when she wants her dinner earlier than she should get it. I asked her what she wanted and when I realized it was dinner I told her she had to wait and then jokingly told her to go press a button. She ran over and pressed the come eat button 3 times and so of course that day she got dinner early. It is uncanny. We have a let's plays button. She hasn't pressed it to get us to play but if we are playing with her and stop she'll run over to press it so we start up again. We have only had this for two days and are amazed how fast she has picked this up and she seems to love being able to communicate with us without confusion.They are stupid easy to program but I recommend speaking clearly and quickly so there is no delay when they press the button. It is easy for her to tell it is my voice and we use the button commands in our daily talks with her to reinforce them.My only recommendation would be that instead of a little rubber pad the buttons sit inside of something with edges that don't raise them higher but prevent them from shoving them all around. I think once she gets a better hang of it she will automatically go to the right button and just step on it instead of pawing it around.This is fun for us and the dog and just like us dogs need to exercise their brains. So glad I got this.

I recently purchased the Dog Buttons for Communication for my curious and intelligent Border Collie, and I am thrilled with the results. These buttons have significantly enhanced our ability to communicate and understand each other, making our bond even stronger.Innovative and Effective:The concept behind these communication buttons is brilliant. Each button can be programmed with a specific word or phrase, allowing your dog to learn and press the button to communicate their needs or desires. My dog quickly picked up on the idea, and it has been amazing to see him use the buttons to express himself. From asking for a walk to requesting his favorite toy, the possibilities are endless!Easy to Program and Use:Setting up the buttons was straightforward and user-friendly. The instructions provided were clear, and programming each button with a specific word or phrase was a simple process. The buttons are designed to be sensitive enough for a dog to press easily, yet durable enough to withstand repeated use.Quality and Durability:The build quality of the buttons is impressive. They are made from sturdy, high-quality materials that can endure the enthusiastic presses of even the most energetic dogs. The sound quality is clear and loud enough to be heard from across the room, ensuring that communication is effective and consistent.Engaging and Fun:Using these communication buttons has added a new layer of fun and engagement to our daily routine. Training my dog to use the buttons has been an enjoyable and rewarding experience for both of us. It stimulates his mind, keeps him engaged, and has become a great way to bond and spend quality time together.Versatile and Customizable:One of the best features of these buttons is their versatility. You can program them with any word or phrase that suits your needs and your dog’s abilities. We started with basic commands like “outside” and “treat,” and gradually added more specific requests as my dog became more comfortable with the buttons. The ability to customize the buttons means they can be tailored to fit your dog’s unique personality and learning pace.Positive Behavioral Impact:Since introducing the communication buttons, I’ve noticed a positive change in my dog’s behavior. He seems more confident and less frustrated because he can clearly express his needs. This has reduced instances of barking and other attention-seeking behaviors, making our home more peaceful and harmonious.Value for Money:Considering the impact these buttons have had on our communication and the quality of the product, they offer excellent value for money. They are reasonably priced compared to other pet training tools and have proven to be a worthwhile investment for improving our daily interactions.Conclusion:Overall, I am extremely satisfied with the Dog Buttons for Communication. They are an innovative, effective, and fun way to enhance communication with your pet. The quality, ease of use, and positive impact on behavior make them a standout product for any dog owner looking to deepen their bond with their furry friend. I highly recommend these buttons to anyone who wants to explore new ways of interacting with their dog – they truly are a game-changer!

The buttons were easy to use and record voice clearly. They are large and easy for the dog to press with nose or paw. I tried another brand that looked very nice, but the buttons were small and difficult for fido to press.We have been practicing with our dogs for a couple of weeks now. They still haven't picked it up but the buttons work great. Would order again. Great product so far.

I give this product of five out of five for the amount of money that I spent and from what I’m seeing from the dog already as you can see in the video it’s doing what it needs to do. It’s really helpful if you can train your dog to touch something first, like your hand, or their bowl or whatever preferably your hand and have them train to that so then when you tell them to touch, then they get used to the pushing the button and recognizing the sound and the words that are coming out of it it just helps. . Have fun with it! Money well spent I’ve only introduced her to three buttons for now, and so far so good and I love the idea that you can change the voice recording and change them up to what you wanna say..

These buttons work perfectly. You will need your own batteries. The stickers don’t stick the greatest, but they are for the dogs so who cares. I just wish that there was a size smaller for my little Yorkie, but regardless, she still doesn’t have issues using them 95% of the time. The only issue she has with them is sometimes she doesn’t push the heart the button hard enough and that’s because it’s a big button for a little dog. But when she wants it, she pushes it and there’s no problems. The only reason why I regret these buttons is because my dog is too smart and has figured out that if she keeps pressing the treat button that we will get her treats. Lol

The buttons are of good quality, quite easy to press and record, the voice is very clear and loud. In fact, I had to re-record as the first recording came out too loud. Although you should start with one button, my dog picks things up very quickly so I started with two - "outside" and "play". She literally started using them by herself within minutes which resulted in me standing outside in the rain after and hour of non-stop tug play. Every time I'd stop for any reason, she'd go back and press "play". I'll never get a break again!! I deducted a star because the buttons do slide around despite the rubber stoppers. I should add that I have a large and powerful dog though. And I would love it if the mat had the functionality to create a colored map to lay out the buttons strategically and lock them in place. For the price, however, these are much better than expected! I can see myself buying more in the future. Very very pleased with purchase.PS my two cats observed the use of buttons and play time which encouraged our youngest kitty to come and request a play with her toy afterwards. She hadn't done that since we adopted the rescue dog a few month ago. Maybe I should get the cats their own buttons, too!
