2.0 out of 5 stars Not the best
The ones I received had been sent back by someone else as it still had their voices saved on them. They're very quiet and you have to shout while recording in order for it to be heard with any clarity once pressed.
5.0 out of 5 stars TITA-DONG 4Pcs Dog Button Pet Communication Button
We've had such fun training with these! I have a pet flap in the back door, but pup uses it as a door knocker with her paw instead of putting her head in and releasing the flap via microchip. It was much easier to teach her to press the button when she wants to go in the garden. She's still young, so she has lots of naps in her covered crate and now has a button in there to tell me when she wants to come out. We've also got one for "toys", and when she presses this I put her toy basket on the floor so she can take what she wants out. As an added bonus I've chained that training session to teach her to put her toys away too, so she takes one out and puts one in.
4.0 out of 5 stars Nice quality and worth the money, though mine had a small problem
My dog already has buttons from a different maker, but it was time to add more, so I ordered these.They work very well. They’re a little quieter than my other set, but a dog’s hearing is far better than ours, so I’m sure they hear it. They’re also a good weight, which is important if you have an over-excited dog which jumps on buttons two-pawed in its excitement. Ours does also pick them up sometimes and carry them around (he likes the ‘Want to go out’ button right by the back door, rather than with all the other buttons, and no matter how many times we return it to sit with the others, it always gets sneaked back to the door when we’re not looking), or bring the entire button to us, to make a point, so they do need to be pretty tough. I’ve not had a problem with these so far, they seem up to the job.You do have to hold the underside of the button (where the mic is) very close to your mouth, and speak loudly, for it to come out of the button with good volume that the dog will pay attention to. But it’s very easy to record and re-record as many times as you like until you’re happy with it, which is good.The one drawback that I should mention is that none of my buttons came with screws in the battery cover on the underside. When you’re leaving something with batteries on the floor and encouraging your dog to interact with it, you *really* need to know that the battery cover isn’t coming off; it only takes a minute of lapsed attention for a dog to get into that battery compartment. So I did deduct a star for that. If it had been one button I would have kept my review at five stars, but for all of them to be missing the safety screw is really bad.These do come with a handy set of stickers for the tops of the buttons, which is good. I’m not sure why all these buttons need to have a curve to the top; it makes the dog’s paws slip when they first start pressing them, and they then fail to have sufficient force to make a noise, and may spend a long time thinking only you can make a sound come out of them. Some flat, matte surface buttons would be a big improvement, and would make the manufacturer stand out in a crowded supply market. It would also make it far easier to stick the designated word stickers to the top of the buttons!Just a point about using these, which we learned the hard way! NEVER give your dog a ‘Treat’ button!At the learning stage, the point is to always acknowledge if the button is pressed. That’s every single time. That’s how your dog learns to associate the word with the action (actually at first it associates the button with the action you take; associating the actual sound comes much later). If you give any dog a button to press which results in him getting a treat, believe me, he’s gonna sit and press that thing all night! And you can’t randomly take it away from him - that’s a sure way to stop him using any buttons at all. Once he has a button he has it forever, you can’t pick and choose when he talks. Start him with the obvious, high value ones like Walk, Play, or Go outside. Once he understands the concept you can say “no”, and have a No button or a Later button, but for several months we were told that it’s not an option to refuse the Mighty Button! Anyway, if you’re looking at this listing you already know the ins and outs of this, I’m sure. It’s one of those just stick with it things, and never ignore it if your dog presses it.The thing that we had pointed out to us when we started, that made us say, “Oh yeah, of course...” was that babies are expected to take 12 to 18 months to talk, so it’s a bit unreasonable to expect your dog to do it in less! But when they do start to use them, it’s so rewarding.So yes, aside from the missing battery cover screws, these buttons were great; sturdy, easy to set up, and fit for purpose. Very happy with them.
