Re: Bell potty training

["Bill & Patti Oftedal" <boftedal@alaska.net>]

I'm on the process of training Diablo to ring the bell hanging at the back
door.
Goldie is "good" at it,  she's a natural learner!
 With Diablo I hold his nose, and I rattle the bell with his nose, after I
give him a biscuit.
He did it twice, but two nights ago he went by the door and barked.  I knew
he had to go.
If anyone has better ideas or techniques, I'll be happy to hear of it!!

"Golden dreams to you all"

Thanks,

Patti.
