I would love to hear more about how exactly all of you who use the bells did it. We have a cool parrot bell with a rubbery circular "cage" around it, and I know enough to hang it next to the door, not on the door. Do you try to get the dog to bat at it, or nose it? And do you start by ringing it yourself in the beginning, or do you just start right away with using his paw for him to bat at it, or his nose, or whatever?
I'm about to start the bell thing, but it's hard (for me anyways) to find a good how-to. I want to do it right - make it as easy as possible for him and us!
Thanks,
