Puppy Potty Training Using Training Bells
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.
Drape your dog training bells on the inside handle of the door that your dog uses to go outside. If your dog uses a couple of doors, it is advisable to get more than one set and you should hang them on those doors, too.
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.
Getting started with your Dog Training Bells:
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!".
Notice: If your dog is so tiny that they cannot reach the bells while standing, lightly and gently pop your dog up onto their back legs and direct a front paw to the bells.
It is important that they do not have treats at this stage. You don't wish to mistakenly teach your dog that they are being rewarded just for ringing the bell, otherwise they will keep doing this, believing that this is what they have to do so as to get a treat. Only when your dog has gone out to make (and actually made!) can you then reward them with a treat. Once again, no treat unless they actually relieve themselves!
Emphasizing Through Repetition:
Repeat the above teaching technique every time you are taking 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 critical that you continue to compliment your puppy once they ring the dog training bells, as it will further reinforce this positive style of communicating their needs.
Additionally, though it takes a bit more effort, several dogs can be trained simultaneously. It does not matter if you are potty training an older dog or a puppy, they will all learn to use the dog training bells.
Many dogs catch on in days, while some take longer. Be patient and, as stated earlier, 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 even a hotel room! Instantly show your dog the place you have hung their bells. As a result they will know, wherever the bells are hanging, is the door they will use to go outside to make.
By sticking with these simple rules, you will shortly be well on the way to successfully potty training your puppy.
