Muffled sound

They are easy to use, but after recording your voice command and play it back, it sounds muffled. Close up and far away when you record to it. Good started button,

They are easy to use, but after recording your voice command and play it back, it sounds muffled. Close up and far away when you record to it. Good started button, I guess.

I've followed the instructions to record on all 3. Brand new batteries. You're supposed to press the red button until it beeps then record. None of them beep to record. I was so looking forward to them. Very disappointed.

Fun!

Takes practice and the 'voice' doesn't really sound like mine, but my pup got the hang of it!

I received the buttons on the 12th and now 4 days later one isn't working. I had added new batteries to them all. So on this one I removed the batteries and added new ones again and it still doesn't work. Can't even record again on it. The other 2 are working fine.

Sound quality

The sound quality is not good. I used basic word for it and had to speak slowly and loud to understand it. I still use it.

This was so fun for my dog to learn. She had already conquered the starter set, so I'm so happy we got to add three new vocab words for her to use.
