Acools Dog Buttons for Communication, 4 Dog Talking Button Set, Speaking Buttons for Cats and Dogs, 30s Voice Recordable Pet Training Buzzer with Waterproof Dog Activity Mat and 48 Scene Stickers

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.

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.

Easy to set up and my dog picked up pushing the buttons pretty quick. Trying one or two at a time. The purple button did not record anything. So only have 5. Hopefully the rest will last. I would look at other products since others have mentioned having a faulty button.

The bottom is really shallow and I dont think my 8lb cat would be able to press it either making it unusable. The positives are that the buttons are big, sound quality is great, colors are nice and discernable, the mat grips the buttons fairly well, and the overall quality is great as well.

I'm trying to teach my cat to talk. I've seen people can train dogs to talk a bit using these buttons and thought I'd try to train my cat. She's a cat so she's refusing to learn, but so far the buttons are not at fault. They feel solid and are easy to press which is important because she's under ten pounds. The stickers it comes with are helpful for remembering which buttons are what since I've been carrying some around the house to press to help training. The neoprene pad seems nice although I haven't been using it. It's also super easy to record yourself so you can try reworking the commands or try new ones without a hassle. I'm hoping my cat learns with these, although I pray she never learns the word for 'food' or it'll be the only thing I ever hear.

So cute. It’s a great starter set! Very easy to record and set and my dogs are already getting the hang of it. It comes with so many stickers too !

I saw that some customers complained of the buttons not working for long but for $16, thought I’d take a chance since my dog & I had never used buttons. Initially I was pleased with the color, size, volume level & easy clean buttons. However the mats that it comes with do not keep the buttons on it at all - the instructions even warn that the mats may not keep the buttons from moving. They may work short term if you have a small cat but will eventually move due to use and foot traffic passing by. Several of my buttons did stop working after a couple of weeks. I could not find any brand that gives button guarantees and this manufacturer doesn’t offer any troubleshooting so I kept looking for sales on other brands. I found some on sale for even less. We just started using them, they are nearly identical to these & work as well. If they don’t last longer & if we decide to continue to use them, I plan on possibly trying a higher end brand.

First off, these buttons are great. They work well and were a fraction of the cost of some name brands. But, definitely be sure you actually want your dog to talk before ordering, lol. It took our girl exactly 3 days to figure out her buttons. She now gleefully smashes down on the ‘go outside’ button approximately 5,300,072 time per day. Additionally, she hits the ‘food’ button as fast as her feet can move. Exaggeration? Yes. Did I pick her buttons up and put them away? Also yes. I will literally get nothing done all day if she has free access to the buttons at all times. We now have ‘talking time’ every day, with the buttons put up at other times so I can retain my sanity. Hopefully she will calm down as the newness wears off, but until then, we have an extremely chatty dog who is happy to have a way to demand exactness what she wants.

Well I wanted to teach my 6months Husky communication buttons and for his 6th birthday I gifted him same. He is using them amazing and he learned in no time. Although I read all reviews majority of those mentioned about one button which stopped working and I ignored those I thought it might be in some cases. But no genuinely the one pink colour button is actually faulty.. it worked first day and then later before even using it the sound started coming so low that we could not even hear. We interchanged the cells but still the issue persist. I think if we pay this much money this should not happen.. Good part is it has mat and stickers.. But I’m still disappointed with this one faulty button. Not worth a buy.. I’m giving 3 star only for other three buttons and the mat and stickers provided. Although later point even the mat is not useful but still giving the point for that..

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!

I bought this dog talking button set to try some communication training with my dog, and it has been a really fun experience so far. The buttons are easy to record and the sound playback is clear and loud enough for both me and my dog to hear. The non-slip mat is a nice addition because it keeps the buttons from sliding around while my dog presses them. The scene stickers also help organize the buttons for different commands like food, outside, or play. Overall, it feels like a good starter set for anyone interested in teaching their dog to communicate with buttons. Easy to use, well made, and great for interactive training.

Good but one of the four buttons didn't work.

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
