The bells hang on the front door. He swats at them with his paw. I can hear them from anywhere in the house (it's a townhouse, not huge). Sometimes he rings the bells and then runs to the side door if he wants to go out there. Sometimes he abuses it and rings them to tell me his water bowl is empty or he wants dinner, but usually he just rings them to go outside. To teach him I just took his paw and rang them and gave him a treat and then we went right outside.

Sammy isn't making the connection. She's not the brightest, but she's super cute!
