| Finally got my dog to ring the bell to go outside! Today wsa a good day finnaly felix rings the bell and I take him outside, I been doing that all day so he knows thats the process, now the only thing is he is not fully housebroken so I am hoping he will understand that when he needs to go out he rings the bell and does it outside as well..hes been ringing the bell all day to go out so wish me luck on that one. Anyone with great ideas or suggestions on using the bell techquie please let me know thanks! |

| the first thing you want to do is teach him how to ring it, push his little nose and make it nudge the bell softly and them give him a treat..keep on doing it and he will catch on..once he rings the bell with out any help give him a treat then keep on doing that..once that is done you got him to learn how to ring the bell with out you..so now when he rings the bell take him outside and treat him outside then eventually don't treat him anymore and just take him out when he rings and he will get the point thats how it worked for me..now he rings the bell all the time to go out hopefully he will start doing his business outside |

| Gosh, if you've got Felix ringing the bell, it sure won't be long before he's fully potty trained, good for you! I tried teaching Carlee to ring the bell, but had to give it up, she just wasn't catching on. Anyway, she's now about 85% potty training except she doesn't let me know when she needs out, I just have to make it an often and regular routine, so I really could start teaching her the bell now I guess. Good Luck!

| Congrats on him learning to ring the bell. We taught Sophie to ring the bell and it has made things a lot better around here. |

| My (yorkie) Bell rings the bell. She has been ringing it for about 2 years now. Only problem is sometimes she can ring it 50 times a day.. Sometimes I think well she was just out there and I'm not going to get up to open that door again, and then thats when she gets me, and pees all over... She is teaching me a lesson...

| Congratulations! I would just keep doing whatever your doing since you are getting positive results. I wish my dogs could do that.

| yeah my dog is starting to ring the bell way too many times and you get so tired..he rings it just to go outside and play as well..so I guess eventually he will catch on when he only gets treat when he does his business |

| Congrats Felix for learning to ring the bell and also congrats mommy. Hopefully he will get the hang of ringing the bell to go potty soon, not just to play. Good luck. |

This is how I taught Reagan to go potty on command but now I don't take her out on a leash and she wants out all the time and just goes out to play. So I've started the leash thing again to show her that when she asks to go out its only for potty time but she doesn't like the leash much so yours may not either if he's not used to it. I'm still working with her and she's getting used to it again though so there is hope.
