Oh yeah, just to update this thread... our bell training has taken a backslide. :-( Nikko never rings the bell anymore, he just walks over and stands next to it for a few seconds while he looks at me. But at least the peeing indoors is happening less often, and we are STILL not giving up on the bell. I figure it can't hurt to keep on trying, and in the meantime at least he's doing a gradually better and better job of knowing he should pee outside, not inside.
As far as going to someone else's house, I would imagine you could just bring the bell. After all, it is still the same object... ("I have to pee, so I touch this object and it makes noise, and I get to go outdoors to pee"). So at least in theory, I would think it would be a great thing to bring along to someone else's house when visiting.
