We trained Leo to ring a bell. We have a bell that hangs right by the door and every time we took him out as a puppy, we would take his paw and tap the bell. I had two friends who would come over at lunch to let him out to potty and they did the same thing (while thinking I was nuts and that it would never work). Sure enough, after some time, he was ringing the bell on his own. He doesn't use it anymore now that he's a "big boy", he just whines at the door. But I will train Delilah with the bell also. I love it because you can hear it throughout the house so I can be in the kitchen and she can let me know she has to potty. |
