So, we have a 2 pound Maltese. She is scared to walk across the tile to the door, and even if she would scratch, we couldn't hear it. We bought this about a month ago. We started by taking her to the bells, and using her paw or her nose to get her to ring the bell. Then we'd say "Outside". After a while, we would just lead her to the bell (which is on the wall before the tile) and say "Ring the bell to go OUTSIDE". We emphasized the word outside. We would ring the bell, then tap the wall next to the bell until she nudged it with her nose. Then we started asking "Do you need to go outside?" And she would run to the bell and give it a nudge with her nose. Now, about 50% of the time, when she wants to go outside, even just to play, she gives it a little nudge with her nose. We can also get her to go outside by ringing the bell ourselves. She's still learning, but she definitely associates the bell with going out. You just need to be consistent and PATIENT! It won't happen overnight. Like I said, it's been a month for us, and we are still not all the way there, but we have high hopes. It takes different time for different dogs, just don't give up!

Our puppy learned how to ring the bells and no more accidents in the house. Well made and cute. She is such a diva
