I have tried peanut butter, treat rewards, lifting him up to hit the bells with his paw and attaching one of his small toys on the end of the ribbon....no reaction whatsoever except scared if I lift him up to the bells. Duke is 9 months old now and potty accidents are minimal, but then again I have learned to ask him to go outside before the accident happens. I wonder if I am rushing him outside to soon and not giving him a chance to ring the bells.

I am not familiar with Poochie Bells, but I just found a photo of them. I wonder if it would make a difference if you placed a bell on the floor. This is what I used for Cooper.

You say that YOU consistently ring the bells, but does Duke touch them? Are you pushing his paw into them? I can't speak highly enough about the Tell Bell. I even travel with it. Last time I kenneled my Cooper I had them put his bell in his crate (that backfired, since he rang it every 20 minutes to get out of the crate
)
