What if your dog could tell you what they are thinking? They can read our emotions, follow our instructions, and anticipate our wishes. That is one of the many reasons we love them so much. With PawTeacher Sound Buttons, it becomes very easy to reach a much deeper level of communication and better understand their needs, which makes them feel heard and understood. Teach your dog to talk with PawTeacher. If you have always wondered what your dog has to say, this is your chance to find out. You don't need to be a speech therapist or a dog trainer to start building a new level of understanding of what your dog wants. Now you can actually learn how to teach your dog to talk using buttons. Using PawTeacher buttons is a fun way to increase the communication you already have with your dog. It is also something that, with a little practice, every dog can use to communicate at least basic things like wanting to go for a walk or play. Step by step. The thought of teaching your dog to talk via communication buttons might sound daunting, but at least on a basic level, it is something every pet parent can do very easily. Once you have your buttons, you want to start teaching your dog to use them. The easiest way is to pair buttons with things that are of high value in your dog's life. Examples could be play, walks, going out in the yard, etc. Essentially, you want to choose words to start with that your dog already has an association with and that are things your dog enjoys. After purchase, you will receive the FREE E-BOOK GUIDE with 4 simple levels on how to make associations with words. Think about how many words your dog already knows from cues for trained tricks and behaviors to people, objects, and experiences like the names of toys, the park, the beach, etc. With this training approach, any word your dog already knows (as well as other objects and experiences) can be named for your dog. And over time, your dog could theoretically be able to use their recorded buttons to ask for these items and have a conversation with you. Recording and playback buttons intentionally designed to be easy to press. PawTeacher Sound Buttons are small enough not to create clutter at home but large enough for your pet to use (even if you have a Chihuahua). Your pet will learn thanks to the placement of the buttons and later by remembering the words from the button. We have developed super-light touch mechanisms to help your pet express themselves effortlessly. PawTeacher is fully customizable with HighTech microphones and speakers so the sound is very clear and you and your pet can hear what is being said. Customizable with any words or sounds you want to teach your pet. Designed to be extremely easy to press even for small learners. Compact design so you can fit more buttons in a smaller space. Works right out of the box with long-lasting batteries (2 AAA) that last for hundreds of playbacks (batteries not included). How it works: - Long press for about 2 seconds to start recording mode. You will hear a beep as soon as the recording mode is activated. - From there, you have 30 seconds of recording time which ends automatically after 30 seconds OR after you release the button. - Record the word you want your pet to say; we suggest starting training with the most used words (hungry, outside, potty, play). Once your pet has mastered these words (about 1 to 2 weeks), we suggest buying more buttons so your pet can start expressing themselves even more. Product information: ABS shell. Internal horn resonance. It can record repeatedly and the recording can last for more than 10 seconds. The recording is clear and the sound is loud. Note: You must prepare 2 AAA batteries; the button does not contain batteries, you must prepare them yourself.
