The Recordable Buttons!

We purchased Gelaburr buttons from Amazon, and they broke after 10 button activations. I strongly recommend that you avoid these buttons. We will get new, more expensive, and hopefully better-made buttons and get back to work!

The Button Tile Mat

This is the tile that holds Tadpole's buttons. It keeps them stable on the carpet next to the door. They don't move and it allows for up to 8 buttons per tile. The tiles are expandable as his lexicon grows.

Tadpole's Favorite Tug Toy

This has been an instrumental tool for Tadpole's confidence. I noticed a real change in his behavior after he gained the confidence to play tug with me and it's his favorite toy now.

Tadpole's Favorite Squeaky Ball

If anyone needs a tough squeaky toy, look no further. Tadpole can be tough on toys that lack "resilliance" shall we say. This is the ball that doesn't die. Even under Tadpole level fun.

Tadpole's Favorite Treat

I don't know what they put in these but Tadpole and every other dog I've had go absolutely crazy for these. If you're looking for motivation here's your treat. (They come in "fun size" too for training.)

Batteries!

There's no communication (or communcation training) when the power goes out. I like rechargeable batteries because they're much cheaper in the long run. These have worked great for his buttons.
