My dog learned very quickly, easy to assemble, easy to use, and quite durable. The only downside is that they slip and move easily on the floor, but this can be easily fixed by adding a bit of non-slip tape.

The product arrived on time with excellent quality and durability. The engraving is quite audible and clear.

I am intrigued by the concept of enabling my pet to express her needs and desires. While my pet is grasping the product quickly, I find myself having to repeatedly record due to the garbled and unclear words and phrases. Even after modifying my voice to aid understanding, the functionality still falls short of my expectations. Given the advanced state of technology, I believe this product should perform better. I intend to return it in favor of a more sophisticated option, regardless of the…

I recorded “go potty,” “water,” and “food” on three buttons, and my dog quickly learned to associate the water and food commands. These buttons are user-friendly for recording and easy for my dog to press with her paws.

I was really looking forward to trying these out, but I was disappointed by the poor quality of the product. Upon receiving the packages, I realized that I needed a mini Phillips head screwdriver to open the battery compartment, which was inconvenient as I didn’t have one on hand. Additionally, the fact that batteries were not included was a letdown. After struggling to get the batteries in place, I found that the sound quality was subpar; I had to speak very loudly for the recorder to pick…

The package includes 4 buttons, but only one has a speaker that sounds decent. The buttons have a tinny/drone sound quality. While they serve their purpose and have helped my pup learn to ask for things, the overall quality is lacking. I find it inconvenient that the record button is exposed on the outside, as this can lead to accidental erasure of recorded words.
These buttons are suitable for initial use to test if a pup can adapt to using buttons. I bought the mat package with the…

I enhanced my buttons with cricket stickers. Initially, the buttons were quiet, but my dog is starting to understand how to use them. After a couple of weeks, he finally pushed a button with his nose for the first time! Unfortunately, I couldn’t hear which button he pressed even though I was right there. I tried playing words from a German speaker at full volume from my computer to make it clearer, but it was still too quiet. Despite the product description claiming improved volume, I…

I recently adopted a small senior dog who is over 10 years old. I’ve been using this product for 3 weeks now. While my dog is starting to understand that pressing the button means going outside, she hasn’t quite figured out how to do it herself yet. I will continue to wait until she learns how to use the “go out” button before introducing another one. In the future, I plan to get a product that I can use to teach both my dog and cat simultaneously, perhaps something related to food or…

These audio buttons are of decent quality and are great for starting to train your dog to communicate. The sound may be a bit unclear unless you speak directly into the speaker/mic while recording. The buttons are quite durable – even with our 15lb small dog getting overexcited and kicking them around like hockey pucks. The kit comes with simple step-by-step instructions on how to teach your dog.

When you have a dog like mine who isn’t very gentle, it doesn’t last long. My overall opinion is reflected in the title. The sound quality is quite poor in my opinion, it crackles and doesn’t accurately represent your voice. The materials are weak and not very durable, especially with a Malinois who jumps on it to make noise. However, the concept is pretty cool and fun to set up.
