Ive posted on this before-Im not a trainer, but I read about bell training here on YT, so I decided to train LillyBelle-she learned it quite easily. I just hung a bell from the door, used teeny tiny pieces of turkey-took her up to the bell and said go "ding-ding" and rang the bell with her paws, gave her turkey and praised her a huge amount, did that about 10x, waited, repeated the process a couple times over an afternoon, did that the next day-and after about 2-3 days when I would say "go ding-ding" she would go ring the bell-I would give her turkey, praise...after a couple days I would say "go ding-ding" she would ring it, I would praise, give turkey, then we would go out and I would say go potty and started the ding-ding, go out, go potty process. She was about 5mos old at the time. Thats how I did it-hope it helps. Reward...lots of praise. |
