My dogs are bell trained. I can understand how frustrating it can be in the beginning. Now, mine will ring it once, then sit patiently until I come open the door so it's not as annoying as it was in the beginning. Since mine are the hanging kind, I used to just pull them up when they were as much a toy as they were a training aid. I think that helped them learn to only ring it when they meant business.
