Train our dogs to be part of the family - Old/young, foster/forever, purebred/mutt. We love them and need to teach them!
Update on the Bells

No, no. Not the silver ones. The Potty Bells - as they are so gracefully called.
The only dog to THIS point is Oscar, The Schnug. I wish I could post video to Imzy because he is super good at it. But his picture will have to do.
Oscar will go ring the bells without my holding them. Yes, he's still being bribed with hot dogs (so sue me - my dogs are treat driven), but I hang them on the door and he will ring them all day long. ;)
Next step: linking the ringing to going outside. This MAY have to wait until Christmas Break when I'm here all day. ;)



So I recently got a puppy and we've been doing the same thing. He'll ring them, but sometimes he doesn't even want to go outside. He just wants to get us to stand up and give him some attention I guess haha. He will use them when he needs to go potty but... not consistently. Definitely have still had to clean up some pee puddles sigh.
Well, Puppies aren't always consistent, so I'd count yourself pretty lucky! LOL Oscar is almost a year old. I haven't even STARTED putting him outside for it. Still trying to cement just the RINGING part. ;) Kudos!!!
