Potty Training Tip for your dog

I would like to share with you a very useful technique that I used for potty training my puppy.


When we brought Rage home she was 3 months old and not potty trained. At some point I had heard from someone about putting a bell on the door to train your dog to signal you that they need to go out. This idea appealed to me because some dogs just don't know how to signal their owners to what they need and this idea would give Rage a distinct cue to give us for the sole purpose of going out to do her business.

I went to the store and picked up one of those peel and stick hooks and a small cowbell. When I got home I measured what would be a good height for her to reach it with her nose and installed it there. From then on whenever anyone let her out to use the bathroom they would make her touch her nose to the bell and ring it, then she would be put outside.

It took less than a week for her to have it mastered and we haven't had an accident since. Rage is now 2.5 years old.


I hope this helps anyone with potty training issues.



Good Luck!
