This is Ender. He pressed the belly rub button and assumed the position. Now it's time for your end of the deal. 12/10 (TT: enderthehavanes)

That’s exactly why I haven’t bought those buttons. My Buddy asks for back scratches non stop as it is, without the buttons. All I’d hear all day is “back scratches, back scratches.” 😂

This gives animals a lot of power. Once upon a time I wrote to Stephen Hawking asking if he would help me get a phonetic setup like his for my dog. I’m sure a graduate assistant threw it out, or everyone laughed about it. I’m sure I didn’t get a response. (I had a habit of reading my emails .)

I have Papillons and we do a lot of button training with them. My son has a Cavalier King Charles that interacts via an app on his phone and when he makes the right response, a treat pops out. I've often wondered why they never snatch the buttons up-I've never seen one do that yet!

That’s usually the case with these buttons. Dogs communicate just fine without them. That cat who used “vacuum” as a swear word, though, was an exception. That cat truly needed that button.

I hadn’t read nearly enough of the comments when it first came out. Pure gold. It kinda makes me want to try some buttons for Jujube, even though she doesn’t need them and would probably find them scary.
