Hunger For Words uses sound-based training with prerecorded or recordable speech buttons that pets learn to press. Training relies on repeated button-press practice and a goal-tracking method to monitor progress. The product descriptions and included guides explain how to introduce buttons, practice regularly, and use the tracker to measure learning over time.
Use the 6-button mat to keep buttons tidy; the mat’s puzzle-style connectors let you join multiple mats together so you can expand the board as your pet learns more words.
The doorbell can be mounted on a wall or placed on the floor near a door. It plays a prerecorded bell chime or lets you record your own word so a dog can signal potty time or other doorway routines.
The Essential Words prerecorded set includes six buttons labeled: “Outside!”, “Play!”, “Eat!”, “Water!”, “Walk!”, and “Love You!”.
Counts vary by product: some recordable sets include 3 or 4 buttons, some prerecorded sets include 6 buttons, and the standard button mats hold up to 6 buttons.
