Baxter is bell trained to go outside. To train him we simply took his paw and "hit" the bell and it rang and we immediately opened the door and celebrated --- he was so happy that we were happy and he got the idea very fast that everybody is happy when he rang the bell and the door opened.
Now - even the cat is ringing the bell (we laugh so hard) -- but no she can't go outside.
This has been a lifesaver as we don't have a direct view of the door from the main part of the house and we would never see him sitting there. |
