Summary
Something I get asked often is how I feel about using a potty bell.
If you listened to my complete guide to potty training then you know that I don’t mention using a bell at all but does that mean I don’t want you to? No go ahead…well, maybe…
While I’ll show my clients how to use the bell if they ask, I find myself talking them out of it more often than not.
I’m not against using a bell, I just find that it doesn’t work in the way we may think.
BUT as long as our expectations are in the right place a potty bell might work for you. So stick around until the end when I tell you exactly how to teach your dog to ring a bell to go outside.
In this episode I talk about:
- Why I may hesitate to teach the bell.
- Why a bell might not work the way you think it will.
- Conversations I have with my clients before teaching the bell.
- Reasons a potty bell might work for you.
- How to teach your dog to ring a bell to go outside.
Press play and enjoy!
