Izzy has been potty bell trained since I brought her home at 5 months and now with my new Biewer of two weeks (also 5 months old), I started him right away to get used to the bells. It did not take him long to catch on. At first he was afraid of the bells but not anymore. Now he rings the bell with his nose all the time to go out but not always to potty..sometimes to goof off but I nip that in the bud....if no pottying after a few minutes..in he comes.

I always used the catch phrase, "Outside potty ring the bell." I then take their paws and tap the bell while saying it. They are pretty smart cookies that's for sure.

Thanks for the warning on the potty bells (they are all made with the jingle bells). I had no idea about the nail catching. I might have to get the cow bells and make my own!
