You’re busy — we get it. Workdays stretch long, and sometimes Atlanta traffic means you’re home just in time for dinner, not extra playtime. But when your schedule feels tight, that guilt creeps in: Am I doing enough for my dog?
At Praline’s Backyard Dog Services, we help solve that problem by guiding dog parents like you toward enriching solutions — like the Talking Button.
Your packed schedule means your dog may spend more hours waiting than playing. The walks you squeeze in are good — but you want more.
You know your dog needs more mental stimulation, but balancing it all can feel overwhelming. The guilt? Heavy.
You believe in a balanced, happy life — for yourself and your dog.
That’s where Talking Buttons come in: this simple enrichment tool taps into your dog’s natural curiosity and intelligence, offering them a fun, interactive way to communicate with you while you’re home… and helping you feel more connected even when time is short.
Talking Buttons — popularized by FluentPet — allow you to record short words like “walk,” “play,” or “outside.” With patience and practice, dogs learn to associate the button with the activity and can “ask” for what they need.
Praline herself has used both FluentPet buttons and more options from Amazon, so we know what works and what doesn’t. In our YouTube video, Alli (our Canine Enrichment Coordinator) walks you through how to set them up and what to expect — because consistency is key!
Our Process Plan:
1️⃣ Start Simple: Introduce 1–2 buttons for common routines.
2️⃣ Daily Repetition: Use at meal times or before walks to help your dog make the connection.
3️⃣ Celebrate Progress: Every successful push is a step toward better communication!
Why This Matters:
✔️ Studies and thousands of videos show how many dogs successfully use buttons to communicate.
✔️ You’ll feel more confident about meeting your dog’s needs, even when your schedule is busy.
✔️ We guide you through setting it up and making it fun.
Without enough enrichment, dogs can become bored, anxious, and even destructive. Talking Buttons are one way to help avoid this — and we’re here to help every step of the way.
A happy, balanced household where your dog knows they’re heard and you feel confident that you’re giving them the best, even with a full calendar.
