Review: Doggie talk - I really liked these buttons, but my dog didn’t. The voice was loud and he thought I was hollering at him. So he would walk away from them. Also my doggie already would tell us what he wants his way. I just thought it would be fun. So I would still recommend to dog owners if your doggie is not as sensitive like mine. He gets his feelings hurt if we use a loud voice hehe Review: Love these things! - This is the second time that we've purchased these buttons for our dog, Loki (APBT / Rottweiler). The first time was about two and a half years ago, and they held up well until recently... and - to be fair - I am surprised that they even lasted that long, given the fact that my dog often tends to SLAM his foot onto the buttons instead of just pressing them. His "outside" button finally stopped talking a couple days ago and his water button was getting a finicky, so thus the replacements. Anyhow, my dog loves these things! We have them for simple things, such as "outside", "water", and "food." These are so useful when - for instance - you're in another room all focused on a project and you hear "outside" or "water"... basic needs which might have had to wait longer if your dog weren't able to alert you to them... but instead, you stop what you're doing and can meet the dog's needs. A lot of it involves some interpretation if you have a smart dog like mine and don't have the space for a thousand buttons to be laying around, though... For instance, my dog typically pushes the "water" button when his water bowl is empty... but -the other day - he pushed it when there was still water in the bowl. I told him, "You already have water," and he proceeded to look at the bowl and then at me (confirming he in fact wanted water). There was some dog slobber and an old water-logged piece of food floating in it, so I took it to the sink to wash and refill it. Sure enough, he drank it when I sat it back down. In this case, I suppose he was telling me "fresh" water. You can also learn a lot about your dog's thought process and personality from these things! And - I have no proof of this - but I highly suspect my dog really likes telling me what to do. 99% of the time, my dog pushes the buttons appropriately... but he has - on rare occasion - went around pushing them all repeatedly out of frustration with me (typically when he gets an ear infection and I've been doing his ear flushes and drops - which he hates). This kind of "button pushing" is typically in conjuction with other annoying behaviors, though (like repeatedly asking to cuddle on the couch with me, then walking over and dramatically flopping onto his own dog bed after I move over for him... every five minutes!). Long story short, these buttons have really been wonderful to have. Honestly, the only way I feel that these buttons could be improved upon is the location and / or profile of the record button. Every now and then, my dog will accidentally hit it when trying to push the button (effectively deleting whatever was there). If it were recessed or located on the bottom, it would be a lot less likely to occur. Overall, I would definitely recommend! Edit: I forgot to mention one of the things that really helped my dog take to the buttons: scent. Scent is like its own language for dogs, so - in the beginning - I kind of scent coded the buttons. For the food and outside buttons, I crushed some of the scent the source (dog food, grass) into independent cups with a small amount of water, let the scent soak into the water for a bit, and then lightly sprayed the buttons with their matching scent. Inevitably, Loki investigated the scents - which triggered the buttons as he sniffed - and we then followed through with whatever action the button was intended for. It's hard to scent a "water" button, so we just pressed it every time we picked up an empty water bowl and sat it back down full. Either way, it didn't take him long at all to figure out that the buttons were to his benefit. Now he has a new button near the bedroom hall that says "Go to bed?"... he figured that one out immediately. It's like once they take to a couple buttons, the learning curve kind of disappears. ## Features - TEACH YOUR DOG TO SPEAK: Start your dog's communication journey with 4 recordable buttons for dogs that help pets talk like Stella through daily button press practice and routines - DEVELOPED BY CHRISTINA HUNGER: Created with insights from speech therapist Christina Hunger, founder of the talking dog movement and creator of these dog communication buttons - RECORDABLE WORD BUTTONS: Record your own voice on 4 dog talking buttons with simple words like outside, play, or bed, making customized pet communication buttons in seconds - STEP-BY-STEP TEACHING GUIDE: Follow Christina Hunger's expert tips to introduce talking buttons for dogs, build daily routines, and grow your pet's vocabulary one word at a time - DURABLE EVERYDAY DESIGN: Made from durable plastic and powered by 2 AAA batteries (not included), these recordable voice buttons for dogs are built for years of communication play ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Customer Reviews | 4.0 out of 5 stars 8,247 Reviews | ## Product Details - **Color:** multi - **Material:** Plastic - **Brand:** Hunger For Words - **Shape:** Round - **Number of Pieces:** 4 ## Images ![Hunger for Words Talking Pet Starter Set - Dog Buttons for Communication, Dog Training Tools, Recordable Button with Sound, Puppy Training Tools, Talking Toys for Dogs, Cat Button Clicker Set - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/612B9mCb1VL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Why is the sound quality so poor?

I didn't want to spring for expensive buttons not knowing if my dog was even going to be interested in using them, so these were a great way to try out the concept. Four buttons gives you enough words to work with to see how your dog reacts. The buttons are easy for my dog (greyhound mix) to target and press with a foot or a nose. My boy dog is showing interest and has used the buttons a few times. My girl dog gets excited about hearing the buttons but shows no interest in interacting with them. Putting in the batteries takes a philips head screwdriver - a little bit fiddly but not too taxing. Make sure the batteries snap in all the way - some of them took an extra shove. The record button on the outside was easy to use. So far my dogs have not bumped it accidentally. I used a label maker to show which buttons are for which words and the labels stuck on nicely. Are these the best buttons out there? Probably not, but they're great to use as a proof of concept. ## Frequently Bought Together - Hunger for Words Talking Pet Starter Set, Recordable Buttons for Dogs, Talking Dog Buttons, Teach Your Dog to Talk - Hunger for Words Talking Pet Button Mat - 1 Piece Single Mat Holds Up to 6 Buttons, Talking Dog Button Mat, Talking Dog Button Storage, Pet Supplies, (Buttons Sold Separately) - How Stella Learned to Talk: The Groundbreaking Story of the World's First Talking Dog --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hu/products/312859116-hunger-for-words-talking-pet-starter-set-dog-buttons-communication](https://www.desertcart.hu/products/312859116-hunger-for-words-talking-pet-starter-set-dog-buttons-communication) --- *Product available on Desertcart Hungary* *Store origin: HU* *Last updated: 2026-08-30*
