I agree! Roxie was also trained to use a bell to go outside at 7 months old. Not hard at all. I got her to hit it first by putting a little cream cheese on it and praising her alot. Now she is almost 3 years old and its been a lifesaver. It can be a little annoying when she hits it, you open the door, she takes a sniff of the air outside and goes and lays back down.
I swear ishe does it on purpose sometimes.
