I have a bell hanging from our front door which leads to our garage. We go through the garage and out the side door, that way if she happens to somehow get out of her leash, at least the garage is shut. The bell has worked wonders for me. Sasha would always go by the front door, but would never bark or do anything to let anyone know she had to go out, so she always had accidents right by the door. Now she just rings the bell! I've read in a few threads on here though in which people have tried the bell technique and their dogs have been afraid of the bell, so it may or may not work, just a suggestion! |
