However, some customers have reported issues with the recording quality and sound quality. They say the recording is terrible, not very loud, and has a tinny/drone sound. Customers also dislike the quality. Opinions are mixed on ease of use, performance, and value.

Fun and silly training toy
 I got this as a funny Christmas gift for my folks. They have a 11 month old labradoodle. Sheâs really smart and I thought it would be a funny gift.The video is after only 15 minutes of working with her. The button is hard to hear on the phone recording but itâs louder in person. They started with a simple âtreatâ and âoutsideâ button.Well now when they take the button away she searches for it to press it for a treat. And she has used the âoutsideâ button by herself to ask to go outside.It was a silly gift that turned out to be a hit. Fun for my parents and their dog.I would say if you have a smart dog that needs a fun training game this is it. If you know a dog lover that has a dog it was a fun gift to give too. My dad gave the best reaction on Christmas opening it when he realized what it was lol.
Fun!
Weâre really hoping our dog takes to this. It is absolutely a fun concept. The product works well and the recording of our voice is accurate. Now we just have to see if the dogs understand what they are supposed to do.
Hard to get the volume loud but finally did it!
(I added cricket stickers to my buttons). At first, the buttons were very quiet. I’ve been working with my dog, and he is grasping the concept. After a week or 2, excitingly, for the first time, he pushed a button with his nose!!! However, even though I was standing there, I couldn’t hear what button he pushed. I recorded words from a German speaker off my computer so It would be very clear. My computer was a full volume and I had the buttons very close to the computer speaker. But it was too quiet. The product description states that they have improved volume so I kept working with them. Finally, I talked as loud as I could (pretty much yelling), directly into the speaker and now they are loud enough. I will recommend these to other dog owners but I suggest the company keeps working on the volume.
Poor Quality
As seen in my picture attached, the colorful ones on the left are a different brand, although they cost twice as much I will be getting those next time for 2 reasons – quality is way better in the mic and voice play back, and I can place stickers or write on them with a marker to see what the word is myself. Iâve bought two sets of these but 2 of the 8 total did not work at all and it cost more money and time to go to the store to return so I will take the loss and use a different brand in the future. These really do work good for communicating with your dogs though.
Love these!
Needed something to help train the dog to ask to go out. Started with the 4 so see how it went. Got my dog to push with her nose to ask for treats, to go out, to get a toy. Easy push for her and easy record for me.
Offloading used inventory as new
I got mine today and the box was pretty beaten up. I am quite sure I got someone’s return as it was not packaged correctly and two of the buttons were unwrapped. Sure enough I put batteries in one of the open buttons and there’s someone’s voice on it and the audio quality was dismal for added insult to injury. The other open button literally had corrosion in the battery area (see photo) so these were definitely used. I don’t think I’d order a replacement given how awful the recordings sound.
Life Changing!
 This product has been life changing for my dog and me! I have a wonderful dog, but she never barks and doesn’t stand at the door when she needs to go potty. As such, she’s had a few accidents in the past. But not anymore!!! The buttons are easy to set up, and the instruction manual provides good tips for how to train your dog to use these buttons. The video I uploaded was my dog pressing the “hungry” button after ~10 minutes of training on these. She is a very fast learner, and very food-motivated, so she may have learned this faster than the average dog.FYI: each button requires 2 AAA batteries that are not included, and a very small screwdriver to open the battery compartment.
Garbled Audio
The concept was great, but when recording the audio it is such poor quality that it’s unrecognizable. Every button sounds the the same. Would not recommend.
Reasonably good quality audio buttons for starting to train your dog to talk. The audio can be a bit fuzzy unless you speak directly into the speaker/mic when recording. The buttons are also pretty durable, we have a 15lb small dog but she tends to get overexcited to tell us her demands and kicks the buttons around like hockey pucks. 🙂 Kit includes easy step-by-step instructions for how to teach your dog.
funcionan muy bien, todo me llego correcto, lo uso con mi mascota y ya tengo dos años con ellos, son super faciles de usar.
O produto chegou no prazo, excelente qualidade, bem resistente, a gravação fica bem audÃvel
Working well. As expected
Mi perro aprendió muy rápido, fácil de montar, fácil de usar y bastante resistente. La única pega es que se resbalan y desplazan con facilidad por el suelo pero se soluciona poniéndole un poquito de cinta antihadere .
