| I actually trained my morkie to ring a bell when he needs to potty. I'd be glad to give you the information if you'd like. The only problem now is that he trained me! He rings the bell not only when he needs to potty, but anytime he wants to go outside.

| Tell Bell - Kelston Products Check out the website. I know it seems ridiculous at first but Cooper is trained 100%. I bought the Tell Bell and it comes with video and instruction. It took about 4-5 weeks total before he rang the bell and the first time he did I was such a proud mommy! When I took him out to potty I put his leash on, took his paw and tapped it gently on the bell and went outside. I continuously said "go potty" "coopy go potty" every time until he finally went. I always brought treats outside and made a huge ordeal when he went. If he didn't potty, no big deal. We just tried again after a short while. I work from home so I had the time to properly train Cooper. When he was just about Charlie's age I would take him outside about every 30 minutes or so. My vet always told me to take him about 5-10 minutes after he ate and also right after he chews on toys. On another note: I can't get Cooper to do anything else.

| Hi & Welcome to YT! Potty training can be difficult, persistence and constant praise along with treats, has always worked around here.
