Teaching a dog to ring a bell to go potty Part 1

[jjschlst]

Video only shows how to ring the bell, nothing about how to make dog use bell for bathroom.

I would like to see #2. Ignore the haters....

i think the comprehension could be made more apparent and direct if you simply hung the bells on the door knob. each time you exited as part of the go-outside-to-go-potty, you take his paw and tap the bell....praise....and go outside with the action phrase, e.g. go potty, got to go, gesundheit...whatever

@waltrmitty Then he would just associate the bell with going outside rather than only to go potty and would ring the bell whenever he wanted out to play.

Thanks for your kind words about PoochieBells!

This would probably be easier if your dog allready knew the "touch" command. She is accidentally reinforcing mugging her hand for treats

my dog ate the bell

if you give him a treat for touching the bells than i thought he would associate touching the bells for a treat instead of associating the bells for going outside
