| Bell Training So sat i decided id do bell training with gizmo. The first day he thot it was a toy and i wasnt sure how to address that, but i have found that if i say outside when he hits it then hell associate it with the sound. And the past few days hes left it alone and ive hit his paw on it before i take him out to potty and say "outside". Today he totally shocked me he ate some food and i knew hed have to potty soon so i watched him, he chewed on his bone for about 5 mins and i saw him get up and start sniffing around and said outside and he runs towards the door and hits the bell with his mouth omg so excited i hope he continues to be on the right track.

| Keep doing what you are doing, (reward him when he does it right) he will catch on, and for a while, he might just ring the bell to make you jump up a lot lol, but thats ok because they get over that. It is wonderful to have them bell trained! Good job Gizmo!
