Toki uses the potty bells. Teddy will come over to you and let you know. He starts out kind of gently with a little growl and stare but if you ignore him or wait too long he gets obnoxious (barking/whistling/whining and stomping) lol! Otherwise he's a very quiet and calm dog! My sister's yorkie would come to you and dance on her hind legs and do a little arm wave...they definitely will find a way to get your attention
