YNP #073: Does Your Dog’s Breed Matter?

Something I get asked often is how I feel about using a potty bell.

If you listened to my complete guide to potty training then you know that I don’t mention using a bell at all but does that mean I don’t want you to? No go ahead…well, maybe…

While I’ll show my clients how to use the bell if they ask, I find myself talking them out of it more often than not.

I’m not against using a bell, I just find that it doesn’t work in the way we may think.

BUT as long as our expectations are in the right place a potty bell might work for you. So stick around until the end when I tell you exactly how to teach your dog to ring a bell to go outside.

In this episode I talk about:

Why I may hesitate to teach the bell.

Why a bell might not work the way you think it will.

Conversations I have with my clients before teaching the bell.

Reasons a potty bell might work for you.

How to teach your dog to ring a bell to go outside.

Press play and enjoy!
