I agree with the other poster on needing a big enough target to hit. Winnie hits it a few times to get it right. I trained her in a week. Good luck.

I googled how to train your dog to hit a bell to go potty and had good luck with this one article. I am on my iTouch otherwise id attach it. Anyways, it takes some patients as she wasnt catching on just having us put her paw to it. So i used treats and a lot of excitement. Shes still working on since we are only 8 days in but man does she slam on it when she really needs to go out. Sometimes she hits it expecting a treat but i think she figured it out after all she was getting was let outside.

Its really nice though! Have fun!

Id also look around for a cheaper bell as I did and found one in a game.
Did you get get the game a while back? I want to check the dollar store out! Thanks!
