PoochieBells Classic Dog Potty Training Doorbell in Chocolate Brown, Cold Nose Warm Heart Wording

I bought the hanging door bells to replace a set one of my neighbors had given me to make the door look a little nicer. My neighbor had given me a string of bells that she'd picked up from the dollar store and she took off all of the bells except for the bottom one. I'd added some string on it and hung it on the door with the string. The dollar store version actually rings louder with just one bell than this item does with 4 bells. The dollar store's bell is a little bigger and gives a lower pitched ring whereas this device gives a high pitched ring that can be a little harder to hear. Also the strap is little more than ribbon. I was expecting something more around the thickness of a thin dog leash, not the case.

I think you could do about the same or better with some pretty ribbon and some dollar store bells from Christmas. It looks nice but could be made a lot better.

It's not working for my dogs. I have two, a 12 year old Cocker Spaniel who is bright and quick to pick up new tricks, lessons, and the like, (I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to run her through feldjager training when she was a pup, so she's very bright and well trained). And a 9 month old Min Pin, who is a little slower, but still bright.

I got the bell for the Min Pin mostly, she was trained on potty pads by her previous owner, I don't do that here, my dogs use the outdoors. So, it was for the purpose of retraining for her, and for giving my Cocker Spaniel a signal for me. Previously she'd just sit by the door, silent, and wait for me to notice her, until sometimes I swore her eyes were crossed. That's no good, if I'm in another room, I need to know so she isn't just waiting on me to walk by.

It's been nearly a month of doing exactly what the instructions say, potty time isn't play time anyways here, and my Cocker is an on command pottier anyways. So I'm not abusing the bells and letting them play when they should be associating it with potty.

Neither of them have yet to ring the bell on their own. My Min-Pin would rather potty on the floor, than ring the bell, and my Cocker would rather wait on her potty breaks, or sit at the door and wait for me.

Blaze is still attempting to get over the fear of the bells. He is still in the middle of potty training, so we have noticed that he has been attempting to use them occasionally and hope that it becomes a habit. They are adorable and I believe well worth it in the end!

I did not buy this doorbell dog bells for the dog but to put on the outside doors in the house so I was aware if the door was opened by my husband. I was able to get to him before he got out of the house as his sweet mind change in the end of his life. I still have them on the door as it is still a good idea to know if your door is opened. Also, if you have a little one you can know if they open the door.
