About Key Vocab Kit - Bold
Build a larger, more organized button system with the FluentPet Key Vocab Kit in Bold.
Designed for learners ready to expand beyond a basic starter layout, this kit includes 12 Speak Up! recordable buttons, six interlocking HexTiles, 35 ideogram stickers, and pre-installed batteries. Record useful words in your own voice, group related concepts by tile, and model them consistently during everyday routines.
The six bright Bold HexTiles can help organize vocabulary into categories such as food, play, places, people, and social words. Compact buttons require light pressure to activate, making the system approachable for cats, small dogs, and larger learners.
Button communication develops gradually and varies from pet to pet. This kit provides room to expand, but thoughtful modeling matters considerably more than simply deploying twelve buttons and waiting for a press conference.

Best for:

- Pet parents who want to group words into clear categories
- Introducing choices, requests, people, places, activities, and routine-based concepts
- Learners who already understand one or more buttons, or new learners whose families want room to grow
Organizing & introducing vocabulary:
- Group related words by HexTile, such as food and water, play and activities, places, people, social words, or needs.
- Keep frequently used buttons easy to reach and maintain a consistent location for each word.
- Begin with one or two concepts tied to clear, repeatable routines.
- Record each word with consistent pronunciation and press it immediately before the corresponding event or action.
- Model words naturally without physically forcing your pet to press.
- Add new concepts gradually and interpret presses alongside body language, timing, location, and context.
Useful early words may include “outside,” “food,” “water,” “play,” “walk,” “help,” “treat,” or names of familiar people. Choose words relevant to your household that you can demonstrate clearly.
Training notes:
- Progress varies significantly among individual animals; learning may take days, weeks, or months.
- More buttons do not automatically create better communication. Expand gradually to avoid overwhelming your pet.
- Random, repeated, or unclear presses are normal during learning.
- Never punish accidental presses, repeated requests, incorrect use, or lack of interest.
- Button use should remain voluntary and connected to positive everyday interaction.
Placement & compatibility:
- Place connected HexTiles on a clean, dry, level indoor surface with enough room for your pet to approach and press comfortably.
- Avoid blocking stairs, entrances, hallways, or heavily traveled areas.
- Each HexTile accommodates up to six compatible FluentPet Speak Up! buttons.
- Optional edge pieces shown in some imagery are sold separately.
Battery notes:
- Buttons arrive with pre-installed batteries.
- Each Speak Up! button uses three LR44/AG13 alkaline batteries.
- Battery life varies with use; replace batteries only with the manufacturer-specified type.
