For many years now, dog trainers have been using this simple, yet proven method for helping dog owners in training their dog to go make outside and in this article we will go through a simple method of doing this by using dog training bells.

Drape your dog training bells on the inside knob of the door that your dog uses to go outdoors. If your dog uses a couple of doors, you should hang them on those doors, as well.

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 Puppy Potty Training:

Choosing the right “Potty Training Command” for your puppy is extremely important. We recommend that you keep this plain and simple, something along the lines of: “Let’s go make!”. Be sure that everybody inside your home uses precisely the same command with your dog, as consistency is important.

Dog Trainers advise that one of the best times to get started on potty training your puppy is very first thing in the morning when you know your dog genuinely has to make! When stating your “Potty training Command”, take your dog’s paw and gently swat it against the dog training bells. Since he will be needing to make urgently, only direct them to ring the bells a few quick times. When doing this, give them words of encouragement like: “Good boy, good bells” and “Ring the bells, let’s go make!”. Basically, keep it simple so that it is easy for all members of your household as well as your dog.

Note: If your dog is so small that they cannot reach the bells while standing, then lightly pop your dog up onto their back legs and direct a front paw towards the bells.

Don’t allow them to have treats at this time. You don’t wish to accidentally teach your dog to think that ringing the bell is a trick! Only AFTER your dog goes out to make (and actually makes!) do you then reward them with a treat. Once again, no treat until they actually relieve themselves!

Emphasizing The Potty Training Technique:

Re-enforce the above teaching technique anytime you take 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 essential that you continue to lavishly praise your puppy when they ring the dog training bells, since that will further encourage this positive style of communicating their needs.

If there are a number of dogs within your household, they could all be trained simultaneously. It does not matter if you are potty training a puppy or an old dog, they can all be trained to use the 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.
