Lola has been bell trained for 6 months or more, I made them myself, by tying a bunch of jingle bells to the end of a ribbon. What is nice is when we travel I bring a spare one and she picks right up on it. BUT as a few others said between the treat and just wanting to go outside she has started ringing the bell every 15 min. So now if she starts ringing just to go outside, I loop them over so she can't get to it for a while. She can go 4 hours or longer so it's not a concern like when they are training. We do not have a fence, so I keep a harness attached to a long tie out and I put her out on that and then watch from inside the house, this way I know when she went. In warmer weather I will often go out with her, this way she know's it business out there not play time. They are crafty little buggers and figure things out pretty quickly. |
