My dogs (8 months old) are afraid of the bells, although they get less and less so it seems over time. Can anyone suggest:

1. How to help them overcome the fear of the bells.

2. How to make them hit the bells hard enough to be heard. My little girl sniffs up on them since they have a little kong on them, but its a very light brush, and there's no way I'd hear it unless I was right there with her.

3. Is there anything other than bells they can use to get my attention? Will they just start barking at the door? I've only been at this potty outside thing a week.

Thanks!
