People who have those talking buttons for their pet, how long did it take for them to catch on, and do they really work? (lemm.ee)

I've been seeing a dog food ad that includes one of those pads with the buttons that talk, I was curious to hear about them from people who actually have them.

I have those buttons for my dog. He is a Red heeler and German Shepard mix, and is quite clever.

He pretty much learned to press them immediately, however the only ones he seems to use without prompting is the treat jar and the play buttons.

The rest like hungry, thirsty, and potty he has to be coaxed into using first.

Does he do other actions when he wants food/water/outside?

I'm picturing a dog annoyed that it has to use the buttons instead of being able to point at the water bowl 😄
