| Hooray!!! Poochie Bells Really Work! Hi everyone! I am just so excited, I had to post to let you know about the success we've had with the poochie bells (http://www.poochie-pets.net/). We've had the bells for about 2 weeks now, and Gracie is using them EVERY time she needs to go potty. At first we didn't think it was going to work because she acted like she was afraid of them. This is what we did. For the first several days we rang them when we decided to take her out to potty. Then for the next few days, we held her and touched her paws to the bell to make them ring when we took her out to potty. Then, this past weekend, she actually went up to the bells and jumped up at them on her own. We praised and praised her (and of course took her out) and now she is ringing the bells all the time (actually more than she probably really needs to). Oh, and Gracie just turned 17 weeks, so I think this is really good! I just had to share because I am so excited and hope that others can have the same success. Here's to successful potty training!!!

| Oh, I almost forgot... I should have mentioned that we combined crate training with the poochie bells. I believe those two things combined were the formula for our success.

| Congratulations!!!!!!! I have been wanting to train my girl to use the bells. We have a big house and sometimes I can't hear her little mewing at the door and I get there too late. I think the bells are a great idea. Good luck with future success. |
