don't mean to steal your thread D, but this may help you too if you decide to use bells.
I bought some poochie bells because i cannot make anything to save my life. The first few days i would say lets go outside, and i would hit the bells with my hand then open the door and take her out. after a few days of this i brought her over to the bells, said lets go outside and took her foot and smacked the bells with it. then took her out. She wasn't a fan of this. So after a few tries of this i decided to hold the bells out to her to get her to smell them with her nose. the second she put her nose to the bells i said outside and took her out. a few days of this then i would make her hit the bells with her nose herself so that it made noise and then we would go out. Now she will go over to teh bells herself and hit them quietly then come find me and stare. When i ask her what she wants she'll run back over to the bells and hit them (or attempt to hit them) then come running back. i'll ask her if she has to go potty and then she'll run back over and hit them harder. Then we go out.
