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, multi

Very good product but my dog use the button to get my attention all the time now so I have to stop using this. My dog is too talkative!

So… lots of people seem upset that there are no buttons included. I, however, read the description and am SO very happy with this button mat. It fits the HFW (Hunger for Words) buttons but ALSO fits the cheaper multipack of 8 buttons I purchased on Amazon (roughly 9cm/ 3.5” diameter). We first set up her buttons on cardboard with Velcro dots to keep them stable, but our 3-month old standard poodle puppy chewed that incessantly. We also bought a competitive product with hexagonal buttons and a matching mat, but the button holes popped completely out, so the buttons fell through if you moved the mat. The HFW buttons are more expensive and the sound quality is not as good as the cheaper buttons. That said if you want to give your dog multiple buttons, keeping them in the same order is very important (so they know which button is which, due to dog colourblindness & inability to read 😉). This is a major challenge with cheaper mats, and while you could make a button board with plywood and attached the buttons with Velcro, that’s a lot more work than just buying this mat which suits the purpose & is expandable. So… I bought the expensive mat. It’s worth it. The buttons do not require the Velcro dots to keep them in place as they fit nicely in the cutout. It’s made of something like neoprene with a harder rubber-ish bottom. Our pup no longer has an interest in chewing the button mat (she tried at first, but wasn’t as interested as she was in chewing cardboard). We’ve been using the HFW (Hunger For Words) method with our pup for 2.5 weeks and she uses her “outside” button the most (bc housetraining was most critical!), but also “play” (frequently), “cuddles” (occasionally), “all done” (a few times), and “eat” (only once when she was hungry before her normal dinner time, probably due to the clocks changing & switching her from 3 feeds a day to 2 feeds). She hasn’t used her water button, but we’re good about keeping that filled, so she doesn’t really need to ask…. We (family of 3 humans) model all of her buttons multiple times a day, again following the HFW method outlined in the two books (“How Stella Learned to Talk” & “Your Dog Can Talk” both by Christina Hunger). It works really well! Our pup likes this mat so much she frequently sits right next to it.

Great mat for putting the talking buttons on. Its a good size with spaces between the buttons. My dog hasnt been able to move it yet while pawing at the buttons, so thats good that its going to stay in place with all her boisterous pawing of the buttons! I have several different brands of buttons and all of the larger ones fit in the mat so im really pleased with that. I marked it down to 4 stars simply because of the price. Very expensive for what it is.

This fit my buttons well, but I decided to change to a better button system so didn't get to use these in anger, but they are up for the job, if this is the size of button you are working with. It had a bit of weight to it and wasn't flimsy.

Useless, waste of money, First the way it was advertised I thought it was the buttons. Secondly, after having to spend more money on buttons, they don't stay in the pad! Waste of time and money

Expensive for what it is but we needed it so had to get it. I don’t think I would purchase again, I’d look for a cheaper alternative even if I had to wait longer for shipping.

It don’t do anything

Should have read the reviews, bought in haste and didn't realise that it was solely the mat. Frustrating. Pictures do suggest button inclusion. However, my mistake. Mat seems sturdy enough, but very expensive for what it is.

Seit 4 Wochen üben wir mit unserem Hund nun Worte und, dass Sie die Buzzer benutzt. Für alle ist es eine große Bereicherung und macht unglaublich viel Freude. Nicht nur dem Hund. Sie kann nun schon 5 Worte, die sie gezielt einsetzt. Und nein, sie fordert nicht die ganze Zeit Leckerlis ein, sondern auch kuscheln, toben und Gassi. Die Qualität der Matte und der Buzzer sind sehr gut. Dass das ganze erweiterbar ist, ist genial. Lediglich ein paar mehr Beschriftungsetiketten hätte ich mir gewünscht, das wäre alles. Klare Kaufempfehlung, wenn der Hund dafür ein Talent hat und gerne lernt und die Hund-Mensch-Beziehung wird auf eine neue Ebene gehoben. Toll!

La base nécessaire pour votre projet. Tout les boutons s’y insèrent.

Scam product. Says in tiny writing buttons not included, but description and images talk about expert advice about helping your pet learn to talk. Item also says 2 pieces on the packaging and you only get one piece. It also says includes blank labels which it does not. It is basically just a mat

Excellent base for the talking buttons. Keeps them in the same place so the animal (my cat) can learn easily. Quality material and lightweight.

5月の頭に一点、2週間後くらいにもう一点追加で購入しました。 最初に届いたものと形、向き、色が違い連結するには逆さにするしかなく収まりが悪いです。形も微妙に違うため綺麗にはまらず、無理やりはめ込みました。 同時に購入すれば同じものが届いたのでしょうか？
