Caldwell's Pet Supply Co. Potty Bells Housetraining Dog Doorbells for Dog Training and Housebreaking Your Doggy. Dog Bell with Doggie Doorbell and Potty Training for Puppies Instructional Guide

Only took a day for my Bc to get get hang of it. Works a treat. Needed bells because she doesn't whine or bark to be let out. Bells get louder when she's desperate!

She learned the second day that touching the bells will open the door to go to the garden for potty. Now she uses it very well . Love it! Thank you, highly recommended

these bell are very well made and made a good sound plus my dog uses them when she needs the garden.

I used this product for its intention, to toilet train my puppy. Within a week my puppy (cockapoo) was tapping the bells to go outside.

My order arrived to Ireland in 3days and during the covid-19 pandemic, in perfect condition and great price. Thank you 👍

I used these to potty train my lab and they work great! We still use them a year later and even with her smashing into them whenever she needs to go outside they're still sturdy and working! Also multi-use for a security alarm, because they're pretty loud lol.

Our puppy learned to use these for potty training after just one day! We haven't had any accidents inside since. She now reliably rings the bell to let us know she needs to go out (and rings it even harder when it's desperate, the noise level is great!). Great quality bells, very sturdy, and works great regardless of the type of door you have, including sliding doors. I'm really impressed at how well this has worked for us!

I purchased this for my cavoodle puppy a few years ago and wished I had purchased it sooner - it fast tracked potty training and to this day is still in use - great to hang by your back door if you don’t have a doggy door.

This potty bell is very well made and easy to just hang it on your door knob (if you just have a round knob). Here is an alternate way to train your dog to use them:Teaching your dog to ring a bell when it needs to go outside is more than a great trick. It gives your pet a way of communicating its needs. This is especially important when your dog's bowels are off schedule. Accidents are avoided. Ringing a bell also avoids nuisance behaviours such as barking or scratching at the door.To begin, you'll need the following items:A bell that is loud enough for you to hear at a distance. Pet supply stores often carry bells that are ready to hang. A holiday brass bell on a ribbon can also work. Just make sure your dog cannot get tangled in the strap. Braid the ribbon so there are no dangling strings or straps if need be.A supply of small bite size treats. Freeze dried liver, chicken or cheese are treats that are easy to break into small bites and keep at room temperature.A clicker.A house trained pet.Step 1 - Show the dog the bellShow the dog the bell and gently ring it. Let the dog become familiar with the noise it makes. Do not skip this step. Some dogs startle if they touch the bell and are not expecting it to ring. If you have a sensitive dog, muffle the sound and gradually let it ring louder.Repeat until the dog is comfortable and relaxed with the noise.Step 2 - Teach the dog the bell means treatsPut the bell in your pocket or other location that is out of sight. Periodically bring it out of hiding. Immediately give your dog several small treats. Hide the bell. Stop feeding treats and do not praise, coddle or otherwise give unnecessary attention after the bell has been put away.Repeat until the dog happily startles when it sees the bell brought out of hiding.Step 3 - Let the dog get impatient and touch the bellBring the bell out of hiding as before but withhold the treat. Hold the bell close to the dog's nose. (About 10 cm. away) If you did enough repetitions of step 2, the dog should be confused and frustrated that you are not feeding any treats. As it gets impatient, it may bark. Ignore that. If your dog is a jumper, then you probably should get working on that problem. In the meantime, try doing the exercise sitting in a chair. Eventually, your dog will brush its nose against the bell in an effort to "point it out". It thinks it should be getting treats because the bell is present. When it pushes its nose against the bell, click the clicker and give a treat. It is important that you click just as the dog's nose touches the bell. If you don't have a clicker, you can use a clearly enunciated "Yes!" Always feed a treat if you click or say the word, "Yes."Repeat until the dog is touching the bell as soon as you bring it out of hiding.Step 4 - Hang the bell on the door and keep your hand on the bell's strapRepeat step 3, but hang the bell on the door you intend to use. Keep your hand on the strap.Step 5 - Gradually start taking your hand awayHang the bell on the door. Move your hand 1 - 2 cms away from the bell. Click and treat each time your dog touches the bell. Gradually move your hand away a centimeter at a time. There will come a point where your dog may touch your hand rather than the bell. Ignore that. Give your dog a little time. Chances are it will try to touch the bell in a moment or two. If it does not, then temporarily move your hand closer to the bell. Review easier steps and gradually move your hand away when the dog is ready.Repeat until your hand is completely away from the door and the bell.Step 6 - Start walking away from the doorTake one step away from the door. Continue letting the dog ring the bell. Each time the dog touches the bell, click and treat. Gradually move further and further away from the door until you are approximately 5 meters away.Repeat until your dog is quickly and consistently ringing the bell when you put it up.Step 7 - Start using it before going outsideBefore taking your dog outside, hang the bell on the door. Let the dog ring the bell once. Click and treat. Then take it outside - on leash - to go to the bathroom. Do not use the bell for playtime or it will become a nuisance. Stop rewarding the dog for ringing the bell when you are not planning on going outside. It's time the dog starts learning that the bell means potty break.Repeat until the dog automatically rings the bell prior to going outside.Step 8 - Hang the bell on the door and let the dog figure it outContinue rewarding your dog for ringing the bell prior to going outside. But also be prepared for a moment of genius. At some point, you will hear the bell ring and you must be ready to reward your dog with a treat and with a bathroom break. However, do not give your dog free play. Reserve the bell for bathroom breaks only. If your dog does start to use the bell excessively, then take it off the door when you return to the house for 2 hours. Put it back up after a reasonable amount of time has passed. Make sure your dog understands the rules - the bell is for bathroom breaks only.Hope this helps!

We have a new puppy and somebody told me about this. So I definitely gave it a try and it was great I went with something else though. I had it by the door and I would teach her how to scratch at it or boop it with her face. What I found is that she was absolutely doing it. But she would just touch it with her nose and if she just touched it with her nose it wouldn't make the bell sound and I wouldn't hear it. I needed her to scratch at it and she just didn't seem interested in doing that. So I went and got an electric one where she just touches it with her nose it makes a ding dong sound which that has been absolutely amazing. However if she had scratched at this this would have been perfect. It has a couple different button spots to adjust the lake that the size of your dog and the jingle Bell was very easy to hear when we did get it to move. This seems pretty well crafted to me
