| I would suggest just going to the craft department in Walmart and buying some yarn or ribbon and a few large bells. Just make sure that the bells hang low enough for the dog to reach comfortably. I followed a link before, and the bell product was $12 or $13. I think if you made your own it would only be a few dollars. My dad did this with his dogs, and they just nudged the bell with their noses when they had to go out. Good luck! |

| I want to know - how do you make them ring it? Is it instinct? I am going to try it, just to see if mine can do it. Sounds like another way to make me slave after this family

| My Sophie rings a bell to go outside. I just hung a christmas bell because at the time that is all I had. At first she just rung it out of curiosity and every time she did we made a big deal and let her outside. And when I wanted to let her out I would move her over to the bell and ring it and let her out. She picked it up really quick. Good luck and be patient. |

| Thanks. When I get a chance to get out (it's storming like the end of days here) I'm going to buy some bells. I hope it works. My dogs have no signals about when they want to go outside.
