she is adorable and so fluffy. Very smart girl indeed. I also use the bells and I think they go through stages, first Lola was sort of afraid, but then when she got used to them she would sometimes play with them. We went through a stage where she rang them a lot just to go outside, but then I started to wrap them around the door handle so she could not reach them and then take her out three hours later. About six months ago the bells started not getting rung to often because she goes so long periods of time without having to go, so after about 4 or 5 hours I just take her out. The best thing I ever did was use a leash for potty, she knows the command and it makes life easier when getting ready to go someplace, she knows the leash out the front door means business, plus she tends to kill the grass with her urine, so this way I take her to shady spots on the side of the house. I also made my own bells but I used smaller jingle bells and I also have a travel set for when we go visiting and it works like a charm. |
