Some good words to start with include "outside," "food," and "play". Both repetition and reinforcement are essential to your dog learning a new word. If you want to teach the word "outside," for example, record the word on a button and place it by the door.

Starting with one or two buttons, introduce the buttons when you talk to your pup. Verbally say the cue words, and press the buttons repetitively every time your dog does the activity. Here are some examples of instances to get started: play, walk, park, eat, water, treat, bed, potty, and outside.

Should I get my dog talking buttons?

Using recordable dog training buttons is a fun way to increase the communication that you already have with your dog. It's also something that, with a little bit of practice, every dog can use to communicate at least basic things like wanting a walk or to play.
