As much as I wish I had sent my dog to Brandon for training before bringing him home czcams.com/users/postUgkx1_veP7CApJK_GWy_TczaMciuG64PqJeU I am so grateful for this down-to-earth, practical guide. His training techniques and tips really work. Thank you as well for dedicating your life's work to rescue dogs, and to rescuing those of us who want the very best for our 4-legged family members.
That’s what I thought too. She is just super exuberant and loving with her human. It’s wonderful to see. I would bet that opportunity to communicate in a clear way is freeing for a dog (or pet).
Talk about slow haha. It took about 20 minutes for my dog to finally press a button on his own and after that, he was like “Okay I’m done” and walked away 😂😂
Thank you for the explanation and the demonstration. I wish I had done this with my pup. I'd be happier knowing what he needed. He learned by himself how to communicate with me that he wanted to go for a walk or go outside and treats. He would have caught on to this easily.
Much better video than the other button training videos I have seen, it was not working well for me until I tried holding the button in my hand and saying shake. Thank you so much for this video and your time. I’m glad I bought the $20 Amazon buttons instead of paying $100 for the Joey co buttons!.... they have the same sound quality!!
@Minji Moeykens I'm always super worried when I see minors post their age on public forums like this. I know I sound like a boomer, but please be safe! Don't give anyone any more private info. The internet can be a scary place.
Just bought my first set of buttons to start with my aussie and they're on their way now. I'm so excited! My aussie is also my service dog, so he already knows a lot, but he loves new challenges and I think this is going to be a fun challenge for both of us. I'm going to start with 'treat' and work from there and hopefully work towards many buttons. Thanks for the explanation on how you started!
@@peytonmac1131 Yes, we are up to 8 frequently used words with the buttons and waiting for the next set of buttons for which we already introduced new words. Different from my original post I did decided to not use a 'treat' button, as I am certain my service dog would be using that one non-stop and from the research we joined it was also discouraged for very food motivated dogs. We currently have buttons for: walkies, out (to go into the yard), love you, puzzle, water, all done, play and help. We've introduced the words ok, later, yes and want as well, but the buttons haven't arrived yet.
This is so amazing! I bought those same buzzers yesterday and they are arriving tomorrow! I have a German Shepherd named Blue, and I can’t wait to teach him to use them!
I just can't get over your back round!! It's so colorful and nice! Also I put this video on to prove to my mom that this was possible! She practically in awe 😄 Thanks for the great video! Ps; your doggies are so cute 😌
Thank you for the how Tos and the product links. You're the only one of a dozen videos that was nice enough to include the link to purchase the button and stickers. The Etsy link is not currently working, just so you're aware. Thanks Again!
My pup is driving us crazy! If I cook , or eat, he starts slamming the HUNGRY BUTTON over and over. Same with the OUT BUTTON. if I am away from the kitchen up in my office and I can’t hear him, he brings the button upstairs and starts mouthing it OUT OUT OUT. I am hovering between thinking it is cute and taking the buttons away.
Awwws I been thinking about teaching my pupper these. I will definitely need to start seeing how rewarding it is for them and you to have that communication
Not really. Some people name their dog toast some even kitty. It’s just a name. Finnish spitz are also a cat like breed (personality wise). She is also not purple.
I just bought some of these buttons i think it would be fun i do obidience, agility, breed and trick dog with my border collie so i think these buttons wil be someting new for himm to learn and alot more fun than having to listen to me the whole time instead i have to listen to him.
Just bought the buttons for my fiancee and our standard poodle! She has done obedience classes so I think this will be feasible and fun! Also - dope leggings!
my dog is an old lady but she still learns new things decently well for her age, is it possible to train an older dog to use buttons or is it something best when its a younger dog?
I think it's important to keep them in the same spot on the floor otherwise your dog will be pressing the wrong button unintentionally and get confused
I always recommend introducing the “all done” button when you add the food button. Helps differentiate no from “we’re done with that” so your dog doesn’t think you’re telling them no for using the buttons.
I have found the buttons to be much easier. Most people have leashes, collars, outside toys, etc put away instead of scattered throughout the house. It's also very useful for when you're in another room. But best of all is when my parents or my husband's parents visit, they don't have to learn how their grand-digs communicate. So, if they watch the dogs for a weekend, there's no miscommunication or accidents on their expensive floors.
Love love looove your leggings and the fact you have a dog named Espeon and the various Pokémon merch 🥰🥰🥰 Also thank you SOOO much for making this video!!! I am hoping to use these buttons with my husky Blaze (haha we will see what happens) but again thank you so much for your helpful video! :)
My dog is 13 years old. He's a pitbull mix, and although he is a senior he knows and reacts to words like, food, water, treats, outside, play... Do you think I can teach him this at his senior age? Too bad I am just now learning about this! And we have a baby coming along the way! Lol. I want to teach the baby sign language. Ima have a crazy family. A talking dog and a baby that can communicate via sign language. Lmao 🤣
This is awesome! We will definitely be doing this with our next dog. How young can this magnificent training start? We had a boxer that we had to let cross the Rainbow Bridge in May of 2019 (14 years old), who was SO communicative in his body language and vocalization. I'm sure he would have done so well at this! I just followed you in TikTok as well :-)
Check out our other training videos, I also JUST started a new series with my new puppy York which will show EVERY training session starting out. First video is up now and second video will be up tomorrow.
Good video! The only thing im going to say is get a different brand of recordable buttons. There are much higher quality brands for just a couple bucks more and it is definitely worth it because the brand you linked to in the description is kind of bad and not good quality.
How old is he? My dog is 2.5 years old and she’s so smart. She already communicates with me but sometimes it’s a guessing game. Most of the videos I’ve watched are all of dogs puppy ages. Does anybody know of older dogs getting into button communication? :)
My dog is scared of the buttons & when I hold it in my hand she paws below it & won't hit the button. I was so excited to do this but I'm already frustrated with my wonderful but neurotic pup =/
Have the button in your hand but lay your hand on the floor, The button will be on the floor so it doesn't matter if she hits low. If you start getting frustrated, stop. take a break. Remember that this isn't a needed skill for them to have.
I’m struggling with my dog. I have the button in my hand and she’ll “shake” and touch it. But even then sometimes she won’t touch it. How to I get her to touch it when it’s on the floor and then associate it with “outside” instead of “shake”?
But how do you teach more complex things, like verbs for instance? I saw a dog using the word "where" to ask "where ball", followed by "want", which is pretty narly too.
@@Kayla_Vivian hi, dog owner of 5 years here. while we haven't done this type of training specifically, as soon as possible is best. For the good of both you and your dog, I recommend not teaching him several commands at once, so if your puppy already learning something, hold off for a bit.
One of my dogs is really timid and is scared of the buttons. I've been giving her treats as I put it closer to her. Do you have any other recommendations?
Have you managed to get her over it? I'd think that giving her treats and moving the button close to her may be the wrong approach, as it's rewarding her for showing signs of fear toward the buttons. I would think an alternative might be to have a button that says a random word you don't want her to learn, such as tomato, and then keep the button with you. Press it occasionally and just ignore her so she learns that you don't care about the talking box and neither should she. After a couple of weeks, she should be desensitized to it, and then you can give one a positive word, such as 'walk'. Press the button yourself, then take her for a walk. She learns that the button leads to good things, and slowly you can get her to press the button herself.
Thank you guys for watching our first video. Thanks to you guys we've come a long way and made more and better to watch videos.
We’ve been trying buttons and he wants to play and pass at the button!
LMAO he figured out the food one pretty quick!
😂😂😂😂
Did you call the one dog Espion, like the Pokémon? Or did I misunderstand you?
Owning a labrador, i’d be replacing the food button batteries all the time
Same. I've got a beagle
Lmao

Points for naming one of them Espeon that’s so cute 😭😭
I'm curious why espeon doesn't press any?
Look into his eyes. There’s not much going on behind them
I’m about to get another dog, most likely a Labrador, would you suggest training them directly at 8 weeks?
Instead of buttons, could objects be easier for dogs? I've seen dogs taking their leash to their humans in order to say that they want to go out.

Do these buttons actually work? I'm a skeptic. Do dogs really understand them enough to have a conversation, or tell you what they actually want?
