Not to mention, any long-term dog or cat owner will be able to tell you that a dog or cat can easily learn that certain sound/action = certain outcome, sometimes even when you don't want them to. Ever see a dog decide to perform every trick it's ever learned because someone in the room has something he likes to eat and he wants it? Because yes, that's a thing that happens.

It's not exactly a stretch that a dog could figure out that "press red button" = treat, "press blue button" = walks, etc. And sure, that's not the same as the dog figuring out that the blue button sound could be made by something that is not the blue button and still mean walks. But the dog is still using the buttons to communicate specific concepts to the human.

Yeah. I’m sure than when the animal adds “want” “to” etc it’s nonsense. But “treat”, “walk” and “fetch” are probably legitimate, if extremely basic, communication for most pets. As long as the buttons are easy for the animal to identify.

I do think they can understand "want" to a degree. But more of as a "this will get me attention to ask for pets/food/playtoy"

The cat I watch keeps the buttons in the same order at all times so the cat can recognize the sounds, and if they have to rearrange them then they take the time to help her find the correct sounds. It's a LOT of reinforcing meanings. I mean like. Weeks of work.
