Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| Has anyone tried housetraining using a bell at the door? I have had several people suggest that I try that with my puppy. When I housetrained my first dog, I was in a much smaller home and could see the front door from the kitchen and living room so I always saw Dakota waiting at the door when he was ready. With Willow, I am in a bigger house now and the door that I take the dogs out to potty is only visible in the breezeway so I never know when she needs to go. I pretty much set a timer right now and take her out every hour. When I was telling a few people that this has been a bit challenging, I had 3 different people tell me about the bell trick. Apparently it worked quickly in their cases. Just curious if anyone here has tried it. |

| I haven't personally but know several people who have been successful with it I say go for it! It's not a difficult concept for them to grasp. Just make them knock it with their paw every time you take them outside. They'll pick it up eventually. _________________ www.itsahuskything.com It's a husky thing... you wouldn't understand. |

| I think I will! If it doesn't work, I'm only out the cost of a bell, right? I had just never heard of it before and didn't know if it only worked with certain breeds. Willow is doing great, we hardly have accidents anymore but I just can't tell when she needs to go and I would love to get rid of the timer! |

| My dog trainer recommened it too. I wish I had gotten a bell earlier, but I only got one recently. Siku still has no clue what it means. Guess it takes a while for a dog thats used to not having to ring a bell. lol. She usually just whines to be let out and starts bouncing around all crazy like. |

| We did it with our two puppies and it working great so far. They picked it up very quickly and there were fewer accidents using this method. It is great because I can hear the bell from the other room so they don't have accidents if I don't see them sitting at the door.
My sister had told me about the bell last year when she was training her two puppies and it worked for her as well.
Good luck, I am sure you will have success! |
