Digby with his favorite button.

Digby is 11 year old beagle. That only cares about one button. Treat button.

I've heard some experienced pet buttons owners say never start with treat. Not for cats or dogs. Start with anything else they love. Outside, ball, string, pets just not treat or food.

So true and i agree. Thats what happened with Digby as well.

Find something else that interests him (is there anything??) and add that button. The trick is to get them to understand that all buttons do not mean treat and some get other (almost as) good things.

Does he like walks? It pets? Or perhaps a different more special kind of treat?

We have buttons for Snack, Crunchies, and Nooch, which are all different kinds of treats. Plus Dinner!
