No! Pets of many ages have learned to communicate with Buttons. From FluentPet, "We’ve found it is more about the dog’s/cat’s personality than age, as well as the training techniques used (best to keep it fun and stress free), and consistency in teaching (modeling)."
I recommend providing your dog a few options on the board and modeling those options. Think of concrete words you use often that your dog is likely to already hear often and know. Consider what words you are willing to model each and every time while your Learner is first starting out. Think of which words are motivating to your dog. I do not recommend "treat" or "food" as the first word. Words like Play, Ball, Outside, Walk, Pet, etc. Those are all things your dog probably really likes and are easy to model - or demonstrate - frequently!
YES! FluentPet has a FREE, incredible Junior Teacher Workbook for kids (approximate ages are 8-13) who want to work with their dog to learn how to use buttons. The resource also has STEM based lessons with worksheets, quizzes, and lessons that help children learn about animal communication, body language, and so much more! This resource was designed by anthrozoologists, dog trainers, and Guides within the FluenPet Community. Click this link to check out the FluentPet Junior Resources!
