The Hunger for Words Talking Pet Starter Set is the recommended entry point into the button system: enough recordable buttons to establish a first working vocabulary without overwhelming the animal or your floor.
Start with one or two high-value words — outside, play, food — and model them consistently for weeks before adding more. Expansion sets are available in Essential Words and Next Words. If you want to test the idea for less first, the single-button Doorbell does that. More in Dog Toys.
Features
- Starter vocabulary — enough buttons to build a first board.
- Recordable in your voice — record and re-record each word as needed.
- Works for dogs and cats — the same modelling method applies to both.
- Expandable — the base for the rest of the Hunger for Words range.
How to use
Model the word yourself every time the thing happens — press the button and say the word before opening the door, before a meal, before play. Progress is measured in weeks, not days, and some animals never take to it. Start with one or two high-value words before expanding a board.
