It's good to hear that the bell is working for others too. It was probably one of the easiest things we taught Maggie. She would already jump up on the door, so the bell wasn't a problem. The first day, she thought it was a new toy, but that was about it. I would put the bell on the doorknob, and then ask her if she needed to PP, then take her paw and hit the bell. After about a day, she had it down pat. Now I have to take the bell off the door at night, because she thinks she needs to check on the frogs every 5 minutes.
