I have put Paulie on a more predictable feeding schedule and we haven't had any accidents since. I am still going to use the bell though. I've noticed he will come to me and stand on his back legs and paw at me also when he has to go out. It's the cutest thing in the entire world LOL. So he has me trained now, but I worry when I'm not home, that he won't be able to communicate his need to go out. to every one else. So I will be buying the bell... also I kinda just like the idea of teaching him a new trick and spending that time with him. Thanks for all the great advice and sharing
