Ringing the bell to go outside- ALL THE TIME! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

great idea we told ourselves- use a command brand sticky hook and hang a bell on the door and teach the two pups to ring it when they want to go outside to go to the pot. Took them only about two days to learn.

Now that the 2 1/2 feet of snow has melted they ring it every 5 mins.
They just love being outside but they are driving me nuts

What a couple of little stinkers. That is funny. They are sooooo smart.

Roxy scratches at the door to go out all the time now that the weather is getting better. It's making us crazy!

Ha! Bailey did that too. I asked the trainer about it and was told that if you are certain that the puppy does not need to potty then it is okay to say "no". Bailey is now three years old - the bell abuse slowed down quite a bit when she turned a year. Good luck!

that is awesome! my boys go to the door to go outside about every 45 minutes when we are home, haha...they know that they will get to go out! I would much rather have to take them out often than to clean up accidents!

I love my bells! Mine doesn't ring them every 5 minutes anymore.

She does love to go out when it's nice and it has been such an awful winter that I'm very glad to go out as often as she wants now.
