But be forwarned, when they first learn it, they love to ring it every five minutes just to watch you jump up and go let them out, lol!!! She had me jumping up a LOT, lol. They do get used to it though, especially when you keep it to only going out for potty when praising for using the bell.
Good luck!! | I couldn't have said it better! |
