i only ever used the treat button for treats.... training was (who am i kidding, is) a lot of repetitive use of the buttons by YOU.
for example the outside button... every single time you take them out you have to hit the button. YOU have to hit the button. you can tell them, or at at some point the 5w lightbulb in their head goes off and they start hitting the button for when they want outside.
there was a big epiphany for me when i realized (watching the videos) that i had to utilize the buttons as much as the dog does.
Annnd the first buttons i bought seemed stupidly limited to their physical location (downstairs, what if i cant hear it?!). So, i waited to put any real investment until they had a bluetooth equipped system. the buttons are smaller, easier to manage and its tied to an app that can be blasted over the home stereo, and on everyones phones.
my next button will be 'later'.... this one seems daunting
