Puppy Potty Training Bells have been around for a number of years and are becoming one of the tops methods used by trainers in teaching dogs to go make outside.
Once you have your dog training bells, drape them on the inside knob of the door that your dog uses to go outside. If your dog uses a couple of door, you should hang them on those doors, also.
Notice: When looking for a good set of bells, bear in mind that it is advisable that they have the hanging loop split and fixed with a hook and loop so as to attach the training bell securely to any type of door handle.
Decide on a "Potty Training Command" for your puppy:
It is important to decide on a "Potty Training Command" for your puppy. We suggest simple and straightforward commands such as: "Let's go make!". Consistency is vital and it is VERY IMPORTANT that everyone inside your household uses the exact same command with your dog.
We feel the most beneficial time to get started on potty training your puppy is very first thing in the morning when you know your dog genuinely has to make! While stating your "Potty training Command", take your dog's paw and lightly swipe it against the dog training bells. Because he will be needing to make urgently, only direct them to ring the bells a couple of quick times. While doing this, give them words of encouragement such as: "Good boy, good bells" and "Ring the bells, let's go make!".
Note: If your dog is so small that they cannot reach the bells while standing, then lightly pop your dog up onto their back legs and direct a front paw towards the bells.
DO NOT let them have treats at this time. You don't want to unintentionally teach your dog to think that ringing the bell is a trick! Only AFTER your dog goes out to make (and actually makes!) do you then reward them with a treat. Again, no treat unless they actually relieve themselves!
Repetition Is Vital:
Re-enforce the above teaching technique anytime you take them out to make. Be consistent and attentive with this teaching, and your dog will soon be ringing the bells by themselves. It's also essential that you continue to lavishly praise your puppy when they ring the dog training bells, since that will further encourage this positive style of communicating their needs.
If there are a number of dogs within your household, they could all be trained simultaneously. It does not matter if you are potty training a puppy or an old dog, they can all be trained to use the bells!
A few dogs catch on in days, and some take longer - even as long as 4 weeks. Be patient and, just as before, use lots of positive reinforcement. Once your dog has mastered the bell ringing, feel free to take your dog training bells on the road to Grandma's house - or perhaps a hotel room! Immediately show your dog where you've hung their bells. As a result they will know, anywhere the bells are hanging, is the door they will use to go outdoors to make.
Like most dog trainers will tell you, if follow these simple rules, you should shortly be well on the way to successfully potty training your puppy.
