Very excited to begin this button journey for Bella and I! Bella pressed on the first day and I’m very happy with the Speak Up kit. I got some normal volume buttons from a friend and the Speak Up buttons are much louder, which is helpful in a big house and/or for humans that are hard of hearing. Customer service has been excellent, Button Bootcamp was awesome, and the trainers and facilitators I’ve met and/or had classes with online are top notch. You just can’t go wrong with Fluent Pet!

My cat Sammy has been using the buttons for a few years now. I upgraded to the louder buttons. I’m working on adding more words for her. I love knowing what she wants.

Our buttons have reduced stress in our cat Foxy. She is able to communicate her wants and needs and that has truly changed her behavior. Our other cats are feeling the difference in her attitude and they are getting along so much better.

My dogs are trained in scent work so nose contact was easy, a bit of work to get a solid contacts to activate the button achieved in first day. My other dog who is not scent trained uses a paw. Not independent yet but I am sure that will come with time

I'm shocked by how quickly loki started picking up buttons once we got the louder / connected set. The first time he realized we were listening/ reacting he was so excited- I think asking to go outside is more exciting than actually going outside.

Adam is still working on making the connection between pressing the button (action) and the outcome ( response). We have noticed him spending time just staring at the button. It appears he is still trying to figure it out. We are very optimistic that he will experience continued success.

I did not know what to expect as a first time customer; but, I'm so happy. FluentPet has provided outstanding products and services each and every time. I've purchased over the past couple months the Connect Starter Kit, the Connect 12-Button Expansion Kit, multiple extra tiles and also ordered extra buttons as Ruby (my poodle) grew her vocabulary. Very pleased with the high quality of the Connect System--tiles, buttons, base, and accessories. Definitely 5+++ customer service and beyond.

A feral cat adopted me and I can't stand the guilt I feel over not knowing what she wants; that precious face, those dainty mews. So I decided to give this Fluent Pet thing a try. I just bought the starter pack for basic words such as food, treaties, play, all done, walk (yes, my cat goes for walks with me... without a harness!) and one really hard concept word- later. I confess that I am not very diligent in training and she is an indoor/outdoor cat which greatly reduces training opportunities....

My 1 year old Golden Retriever took to the buttons immediately! He pressed “ice” within 30 seconds of me putting the button on the floor. We are about three weeks into our FluentPet journey and he now has 10 words that he is using daily! He is still working on pressing combinations of buttons. Once he is pressing buttons together consistently (like play and tug) I plan to order another kit to expand his agency and vocabulary. This has been a wonderful investment and helped a lot with problem beh...

I decided to give buttons a try after my guinea pigs rang a dinner bell when asked for a treat. I started using the buttons with my 2 boar guinea pigs. I modeled “hi, Buddy, Lucky” first each time I greeted them I pushed hi and Buddy or hi Lucky. Once Lucky started pushing his name and hi buttons. Then I added dinner, dessert, want, hmm buttons. After Lucky started pushing dinner button too much then I added no no. I recently added my name”Donna”. Lucky pushed Donna yesterday after I was talking...

Much to our surprise, our 2.5 year old Cane Corso Odin was appropriately selecting the buttons within about 3 hours of introducing them to him. He was a little annoyed when we took his bells off the front door, but he quickly adapted. He uses his nose to “bink” objects and has done so since he was a puppy, so he binks the buttons. The first day we programmed 4 buttons on 2 pads and he took to them right away. We placed the pads near what the buttons were in relation to i.e. eating/drinking...

My dog, Onacōna, would ring a bell for every thing she wanted (go outside, help with a stuck ball, wanting to go to bed, treats, etc.) so I thought the speech buttons would be perfect for her. I had to add the button “all done” so she wouldn’t continually press the ”treat” button. She now uses 4 other buttons. It takes work, being consistent and lots of love, but she will get it. Onacōna is still learning and so am I. I love these buttons. Thank you!!

The system has been fun to use. I started with the starter pack, and my learner Dublin took to it really fast so I decided to invest in this system. She’s quickly gotten up to 9 buttons and I’ll likely add a few more this week. It’s really cute when I put a new one down, because she will press it immediately about 10-20 times while staring down the speaker as if committing the word to memory! Other times she will miss a button or it won’t go off like she wants and will get angry and paw at the s...

My 6 month old cavapoo isn’t much of an eater, so I used “treat”, “pets” and “toy” as his first buttons. Two weeks of rewarding him for touching, then pressing the treat button and now he presses treat without any direction. Three days later, he asking for a toy. I just tell him, “use your words” and he goes to the tile and presses the button.

I've been following pets on instagram that use buttons for almost 4 years now. I knew I had to try this when I got a puppy. I got my pup about 2 months ago, 16 weeks old now and he has 8 buttons already. So I had to buy more buttons a week after I got this order. He loves it and I love it. It's a game changer allowing your pet to communicate to you🥰

It took our dog Toby a couple months to use his first word but you can see he's enthusiastic about it now! We did the Button Bootcamp and within a few days he had multiple words. Now he has quite a few and we're always adding more. He barks so much less now that he can communicate more clearly! But in this video you can see a Toby tantrum. Which is so cute and so much better than barking!

Used the “touch” training and easily translated to the buttons. We now have 3 buttons: play, outside, and food. She is learning easily and we are having fun and excited to keep going!

My Cat Ghost took a while to press the buttons hard enough, but he very quickly understood the meanings and what would happen if he pressed a button. Within about a month he learned to use play, outside, find it (I learned about this one in the boot camp, thanks to Janine, Twiggy, Odin, Freya, it was the one that really made it click for Ghost, cause we do that a few times a day), all done, later and now. We were finally able to upgrade to the Connect system (Shipping took over a month :/) an...

Gus figured out his buttons quickly a few years ago when he was hitting the "food" button and smacking his auto feeder. He's since learned "play" "love you" "brushings" as well as "butt" "head" and "side" to tell me where he wants to get brushed. Had to buy more buttons since he's worn out his "brushings" and "head" button!

It's been a really fun adventure to watch our cat learn to communicate with us. I never thought he would catch on so quickly! Whether it's asking for some extra food, going outside, or even playing with a specific toy! We just ordered six more and can't wait to see what else we can teach him.

Getting buttons gave my girl a big confidence boost and she loves to command me to go to bed or guests to go home by using her "all done" button or just join in on the conversation by spamming her name button. Giving my girl a voice has made an enormous difference in day to day life and she will get mad if she wants to say something and doesn't have the button for it..so more buttons it is lol!

Jim just pressed he first buttons today. It was so fun. He pressed "go for a walk," and immediately he ran to point at his leash and harness. When we got back, I got on my phone and in a minute I heard him press "help" and it turned out he had got his bone stuck under the t.v. He has seen us model the uttons about 60 times, and he had one accidental press a while back. After the accidental press I treat to encourage him and he really didn't like thatso we kept just showing him and waiting. I...

Our two new 5 month old kittens Misty and Foggy love their buttons…despite still figuring them out. Misty has pressed her Nooch button with her paw a few times and more often, so far, by walking up and deliberately rolling over in it. (Nooch gets them a little bowl of nutritional yeast and water…cat soup!) They also have upstairs and downstairs buttons for which they strongly know the words and are using the upstairs button appropriately. Downstairs is still a work in progress.

Our kitty has been fascinated from the first moment!! She puts her paw next to the buttons and sniffs them and even had her paw on top of it but has not yet pressed it. She loves sitting next to the layout as one of our “together-time” activities, and gives me frequent “kissy eyes” as I reinforce each button and encourage her.

I thought it will be tough, not because of my child but because of me, I’m not a very good trainer! BUT omg it took less than a week till she started pressing her buttons. I used “Love” (which kinda just means she gets pets and cooing) and “Play” at first, which was confusing for her, because she just associate pressing the button to just some kind of response from me. But I added a “Food” button, and she started realising the difference between the buttons!!! Surprisingly, she uses “Play” m...

Toffee is up to eight words (water, hungry, outside, play, training, scritches, treat, all done). She consistently requests training and play, narrates when she has just had a drink of water, and lets us know when she is hungry - we slept in a few days ago, so she went downstairs to her buttons, pressed "hungry", and waited until we came down to feed her. Lol! Scritches is her newest word, and she is starting to use it occasionally. She is especially chatty right after she has eaten dinner and w...

My dog started using her first two buttons appropriately within 3 weeks. We are now working on boundaries and having her learn she doesn’t get something everytime she presses “eat” 🥴😂 We started with “eat” and “outside” and noticed she will request outside to play and potty so those will be our next words. It’s been a fun bonding experience with our pup 💖

So I’m going to be perfectly honest. Our dog Samira is a super smart dog to begin with so we knew she was going to take to this system perfectly. She just turned 2 and we’ve been training her with special words fords certain things so after recording them on the buttons she naturally picked it up. We bought the 6 button starter kit and we’ve been working on 3 buttons right now. 1-Poop, 2-peedles, 3- Hungries and she knows them all and we’ve had it less than a month. Definitely worth the money if...

My Cozy argues sometimes about pressing the buttons because she's been communicating with me without them for 13 years. But she is getting better and better. My Travis only steps on them by accident but I reward both of them immediately anytime they press a button.

Its been 3 weeks with buttons. Koda didnt feel well and was sick to her stomach. I cleaned it up telling her "its ok, mommy loves you". She walked over and pressed "love you"! First time on her own. That alone was worth it! I see her look at it processing. Has pressed "ball" twice now. Patience is key, she'll talk when ready.

Started with a cheap set off Amazon. Quickly realized we needed something we could hear better. Love that it’s louder and I can track progress. I wish I could multi select to delete presses. Otherwise I am very pleased

I love the Hextiles, they are the perfect size, my cat does try to use them as a scratcher sometimes (the ones that don't have buttons yet), but they are sturdy enough to withstand that.

I am using Fluent Pet with 4 dogs. The GSD is quite adept at smacking the buttons, the others are less enthusiastic but do so. So far none understand why they are pushing a button, but they know Mom is really happy when they do. This early in the game it is better to address the product. It's nicely made, has good sound, delivered on time and the staff is very good to work with. I have only positive things to say. I started with a larger kit and may have to shrink my approach of having so man...

Hold up, let me brag about Jade for a sec! She's crushing this whole talking button thing! 💪 We started with just three buttons on 2/6/23 - potty, Jade, and the ever-exciting peanut butter surprise (PBS). It was our sneaky way of giving the girls their meds. 😉 Next thing we knew, she was rocking that PBS button like it was her job! I had to teach her the 'all done' and 'later' buttons real quick. But honestly? She loved it! She went from spamming buttons left and right to putting together full ...

My cats, Salem and Styx, love the buttons! They spend most of their time near them and it took around 5 days for them to push the button consciously for the first time! We’ll keep learning and see how it’ll work out!

I love my dog’s buttons! They work really well and I’ve had no issues so far. There was a bit of a learning curve with setting them up, but the instructions and app are clear and it’s been so much fun. It’s lovely hearing what my dog wants and I can’t wait to grow his repertoire!

My corgi topped out at 6 buttons (she’s 10). My golden puppy is at 24 and counting. He loves putting words together to make new words (water walk = let’s walk on the beach) and telling my teen son that he’s a “good dog.”

I can't recommend FluentPet enough! Since I started using it with my dog, Sullivan, our bond has deepened in ways I never imagined. The system is so intuitive, and it's amazing to see Sully express his wants and needs clearly. Whether it's asking for a walk, playtime, or just to go outside, he's able to communicate with me in such a direct way. It's been so rewarding to witness this growth in our relationship, and it feels like I truly understand him now. FluentPet has taken our connection to a ...

Hazel has been using buttons successfully for almost a year. She is up to 32 button words, but uses 10-16 of them most frequently. The new edge pieces and Speak Up buttons are definitely nice additions to our set of communication tools. We really love being able to understand our pup’s wants and needs on a deeper level.
