Sometimes he abuses it and rings them to tell me his water bowl is empty or he wants dinner, but usually he just rings them to go outside. To teach him I just took his paw and rang them and gave him a treat and then we went right outside.
Sammy isn't making the connection. She's not the brightest, but she's super cute! |
Your Loki sounds like quite a character and I'm sure Sammy will get the hang of it. BTW, Sammy is beautiful and Loki is adorable. Thank you for all your help, this sounds like a great idea and I am going to give it a try and see if Calli gets it. She has picked up on most things pretty fast, except the potty pads. She normally goes outside (hence the need for the bells) but I am trying to train her to ALSO use the pads (for night time and inclement weather) and she just hasn't figured them out. She looks at me like, "What are these for?" I know she will get it eventually so I keep working with her, at least right now the weather isn't really a problem. Thank you again, I appreciate your help. :) |
