DaVoiceDog Button Mat (6 Button Placements) for Dog Communication Buttons, Dog Buttons for Communication Board, Dog Speaking Word Training Talking Button Pad (Buttons and Attachments Not Included)

really easy to use, still training them to use it. but i really like the fact that we can communicate .

This is made out of the very strong (you will need strength with a learning dog because they will often scratch aggressively at the buttons or mat) wetsuit material. I do suggest purchasing Velcro dots from the sewing section on here since you can get many more dots for a much lower price than ones with brand names.

This mat looks very nice. I wanted it to work out. However, the buttons actually moved around and slipped more than when they were sitting directly on my hardwood floors. And then the mat would move around when my dog would press the bottoms also. It needs a better nonstick surface on both the bottom and the top to be effective.

I was impressed at how quickly our dog caught on (within 1-2 weeks). You'll need a mat to attach the buttons to or else they slide around.

Stays put

… specially if they get excited about pressing the buttons. I’d like to try the buttons that stay in the sturdier bases so they don’t fold up and slide around and come unattached.

Sound is too quiet and not clear enough

I bought this for my 8 lbs Schichon. She uses the hextiles system. I bought these buttons as they were cheaper. They are too big and hard to push for a small dog. My dog gets frustrated and I gave up on using them for her. I went back to the more expensive talking buttons for dogs.
