| Can I teach a cue so I know? I feel like my dog would be better trained if I could treachg it a cue to tell me that she has to go potty. Has anyone had luck with this? If so, any does and don'ts? |

| Some people hang bells on their door and teach the dog to ring the bell. |

| With Aubrey, it just came natural to me that he needed to use the bathroom. He will look at me a certain way, then he will sorda act like hes running to the door. I think theres a cue that they are trying to give you, you will just pick up on it someday. Potty training was the hardest thing to do with Aubrey, it just took many times of taking him out to the bathroom. |

| Loki learned to ring the bells in less than a week. Sammy has seen Loki ring the bells 400 times in the last several months and cannot figure out how to ring them. She has rung them maybe a dozen times? Mostly she goes and sits by the front door which does me no good when I'm upstairs. She scratches at the door AFTER I have her leash on. That's when she decides she wants out

| where do you get the bells? My lab does a happy dance or runs towards you, then away when she wants out. Bella gives no signs. Other than when she starts circling for her poo dance

| Is that how you get them to do it? I really need a better way to have mojo "let me know" when he need's to go cause right now he just goes. and then theres a mess to clean up. Im gonna try the bell thing and see if that works.

| I bought a bell and put it on a ribbon and it hangs low, it's also part of my security system, if anyone tries to come in my back door, I'll hear em.
