Review on RIBOSY Colorful Recordable Button Training by Charles Butler

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Decent trainers, not for the faint of heart.

I bought these for dog training and they work great. They have several advantages over cheaper versions. See my warning below before purchasing. Recording mode is activated with a switch on the bottom, making it much harder for a dog to accidentally delete messages. Battery life is ok. I haven't had a single stamp yet. Recording quality is normal, not too quiet, but not crystal clear sound. It's decent. The button is a little hard to press so my chihuahua doesn't show any interest in it as he has to jump up and step on the button a bit for it to work. On the other hand, My Pitt Bull is slightly more responsive to the button. and couldn't get him to push the button, so i left him where he likes to lie down when i'm home and i started giving him treats and talking to him everytime he accidentally pressed the button and showed him how the button worked every time and now he accepts it and also learns to use the "outside" button a little bit. Fair warning to those trying to train dogs similar to youtube videos, the training is not easy and requires a very strong bond with the dog as well as a lot of time and patience in training. Most of the time I can teach dogs simple tricks in minutes and I've been working on it for weeks with little success. You see, many animals are smart enough to do such things, but the vast majority of animals do not have that personal connection with a human to understand what he is trying to convey. The type of bond I'm talking about is usually formed by spending a lot of time interacting with an animal in its early childhood and then training and communicating with the animal throughout its life. You may see this type of training in star animal movies and stories like Fine Jim Key, the Brilliant Horse, but it's rare and it's not just about teaching the animal a fun trick. In order to do this, you will have to spend a lot of time learning to communicate with this animal on a deeper level than is usually possible. It takes real friendship, leadership and training skills, the many amateur coaches are missing. Anyone can teach a dog how to press a button, but it takes a real connection with the animal and a lot of time teaching it language and logic related to pressing a button for a specific reason without a person's prior request. Good luck if you decide to give it a try. It's not impossible, but it's not easy. If your dog sits in the corner with his toys all evening after you get home from work and you don't spend much time socializing, this isn't for you. If you spend half your life cuddling, talking to, and letting your animals follow you, this is a fun project to work with.
