 bells for training
Hi.....we have a 7 month old male yorkie that we trained with the bell....and he was totally house broke at the age of 6 months.....we hung the bell about 3" off the floor, it is attached to the door knob.....and every time he looked like he needed to go out I would take him to the door and put his leash on and just stand there holding the leash and keep repeating go potty....ring bell....go potty....and when at first he would only stand there I would reach out and ring the bell with my hand and say at the same time go potty.....he learned in a week that he had to ring the bell to go out ............when ever he would forget I would leash him and just stand there and wait, saying go potty, ....it might take a few minutes but he soon got the idea, they are so smart I'am constantly amazed at him, he has leaned to stay when I walk away and sit and come and stay down....when he goes out I keep him on his leash at all times, we go out he gets his business done and we come right back in.....he does have play time outside but only if we can supervise him at the time......hope this helps... |
