TROUBLESHOOTING
MY DOG RINGS THE BELL A
DOZEN TIMES A DAY!
You are teaching your dog
that she has the ability to
communicate with you and that
you will respond to her polite
requests. It is important in the
beginning to respond every
time she rings the bell, because
if you don’t, she’ll learn that
you are non-responsive, and
she will no longer attempt
communication.
TIP! This skill works very well in
housetraining young puppies!
TEACH IT:
Teach your dog to ring a bell on the door to let you know
that she needs to go outside.
1 Hang a bell from a doorknob. Dab some peanut
butter on the bell and encourage your dog to lick it by
wiggling it and saying ,“Bell, get it!”
2 The instant your dog causes the bell to ring, say,
“Good” and give her a treat from your hand. Repeat
this several times in a row every day.
3 Get your dog’s leash and get her excited to go for a
walk. Stop at the door with the bell, encouraging her
to ring it.
4 It may take a while, but as soon as she touches the
bell, immediately open the door and take her outside.
This time, the reward is access to the outdoors
instead of a treat.
WHAT TO EXPECT: The more responsive you are to the
bells in the beginning, the quicker your dog will learn this
skill. Most dogs will start ringing the bell on their own
within a wee
