I had the same question and asked our trainer from PetSmart. Since we have a pad upstairs and downstairs that she uses when in either place, she told us to keep the one upstairs for now as it is convenient. But the one that is downstairs move it closer to the door everyday until you are outside.

Also, as far as the bell, she said to put the bell up and like other said you hit it every time you go out. Then just let him play around it, and even when he hits it on accident make a big deal out of it and give a treat and take him right out. He will soon understand that the bell means go out. And it will click that it is to go potty.

I hope this helps.
