I don't think introducing the bells in too much. The only other thing I could recommend is if you see them going potty in the house, clap your hands real loud and give a stern NO. Then take them right outside and if they finish up out there, then give them a treat.

Welcome to YT! You will find a wealth of info here on this site. You could do a search for Potty Training and you will find lots of info that way, too.

GOOD LUCK! Don't give up. It seems like you are doing everything right at this point. I am sure that she will get than hang of it in no time at all.
Unfortunately, I work, so the day's are a bit challenging. My babies had the run of the tiled area of my home (lounge/dining/kitchen) but after discussing this with my trainer, she has told me that the area is too big, so now I keep them outside in the enclosed courtyard during the day. I was just concerned about this, as their is no view!! I know this sounds ridiculous, but when they were inside, they were able to look out of the french doors, and I also left the radio on softly for them. No I feel guilty that they just look at concrete walls all dy. I don't suppose they can have evertying their way though!! I do put paper down for them in a litter tray, so they can learn to do their business in one area. Gina is already getting the idea, but not Gabi.

I'm sure though that things will come right. Luckily, my husband is also very good about this, so consistency is not the problem.

Oh by the way, I do clap and give the stern NO when I catch them. Gina is easy to "catch" but Gabi seems to only go when I'm not watching. I've never caught her in the act. I only find the evidence!!
