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!
