Learning Resources Recordable Answer Buzzers Personalized Sound Buzzer Recordable Buttons Set of 4 Ages 3+ Multi-color, LER3769

It arrived and wasn’t recordable. So it’s false advertising.

good for fun, I like it

I've had these for more than a year now so I probably shouldnt be surprised that the speakers are dying. Even with a battery change it is difficult to hear them. But they were my dogs first set and I now have him using many buttons to help tell me what he needs... even if that is Treat 20 times over... lol

Pratique, sympa de pouvoir différencier le son des Buzzer mais volume du sons beaucoup trop faible pour jouer

Great tool for helping people and pets communicate. I use it for my dogs now but people like my late husband who could not speak and did not have the dexterity to write or type could use it to ask or answer simple questions. Another friend of mine is going to try it with autistic children she works with helping them communicate easier. So many possibilities. Could have better sound quality and louder.

These are loud, unlike Fluent Pet buttons (which we returned for this reason). The recording quality isn't great, but it works well enough. It struggles to pick up certain sounds ('W' always sounds like 'L', so my cat calls me a liar whenever he wants to play with his wire toy lol). My cat couldn't figure out how to put enough weight on them to trigger them, so I opened them up and jerry rigged them to trigger with the lightest touch. Inside, there is a little metal piece that sort of pops inside out when pressed (like a freshness seal on a jar lid). When it pops the other direction, it touches another bit of metal, completes the circuit, and the sound triggers. You can take this piece of metal and flatten it out a bit, so that it doesn't need to actually be popped to work. It will now trigger when the top of the button is just barely touched. It can be kind of finicky to get right (some of our buttons go off on their own sometimes, or go off when moved). This is a lot of work, but my cat could not figure it out without us doing this. After he had gotten comfortable using these rigged buttons to constantly beg for treats and laser pointers every waking moment of the day, I decided it was time to try the non-rigged buttons again. So, I replaced his favorite button ('treat', obviously) with a non-jerry rigged button and worked on teaching him to actually press it down. I did this by putting a treat under a tupperware container, saying 'paw' and tapping on the top of it, then revealing the treat to him only when he touched the top of the container the right way. Once he had that down, I put the tupperware over the treat button and continued to give him treats when he placed a confident little paw smack dab on the top of the container. Finally, I took away the container, tapped the button, and asked for 'paw'. He obviously thought I was a moron, because he quickly and lightly pawed at the side of it, with no care in the world, the way he always does with his rigged buttons. But this time it didn't work. I tapped it and asked for 'paw' again, and I could see his neurons stretching to reach each other in that little head of his, as he placed his paw smack dab on the top, and started to experiment with it. Whenever he started to act defeated, I pressed it and gave him a treat to prove this wasn't some sick joke. I actively trained him for about 20 minutes for a few days, and he would approach the button on his own and try new things in the mean time. Whenever he accidentally triggered it I gave him extra treats. Eventually he figured out how to consistently trigger the button, and now he can use them regularly.

We had fun with these button with our dog at home. It works OK.
