Caldwell's Potty Bells Original Dog Doorbell

Purchased this hoping to train our puppy to alert us by the door whenever she has to go potty, however any time we hung this on the door handle she would relentlessly attack/play with the bells to where we had to remove them (we live in an apartment complex and the bells were hung on the door to the balcony). Watched all available training videos addressing this to no avail (none seem to address the issue of a puppy who goes nuts over bells the second she sees them). Could not figure out a way to train her to use these appropriately because as soon as she sees them it's GAME ON! Better encompassing instructions would be useful

My 10 week old puppy has these bells figured out. She'll hit them once and stand in front of the door when she needs to go out (or just wants to play outside) but she also tugs on them and shakes them around repeatedly when she just wants to play and they do a good job of keeping her entertained.

We have two lab puppies. By three months they were crate trained but anytime they were out in the house during the day they would not let us know they had to go outside and would just go inside. Within minutes of putting these bells up, they began using them. As the directions stated, I just showed the dogs the bells and put their nose to them the first few times before letting them outside. As long as we are around to hear the bells, we haven’t had any accidents since! Highly recommend these if you don’t feel like your pup is making any effort to let you know when they need to go out.

I ordered these for two dogs I’m fostering. I had been told they were house trained using bells. They are not! However, my senior dog was first trained this way. She sorta remembers... I’d have given them five stars if they had one more (lower adjustment).

It was easy to train our puppy to use this. We used treats with the ringing, and rang it every time we let him out. Took about a month to fully understand but he totally uses it to let us know. Funny thing, the cats now think if they hit it they can go out too...lol

Trying to train my dog who is house broke to tell me when she has to go out. It’s a guessing game because she never lets me know. She’s never had an accident but doesn’t let me know when she needs out. She won’t have anything to do with the bells. She hates them. I guess I’m the one that is trained. I just let her out every so often and she goes. LOL.

My puppy’s breeder started potty training him before I even picked him up so he was nearly perfect in the house. His only issue was that he didn’t have a way to tell me he needed to go outside. He was scared of the bells at first. With lots of treats and praise he got the hang of it. He eventually transitioned to woofing softly at the door but the bells were essential to him figuring that out.

After four days, my dachshund Jakey, learned how to ring the bell for a potty run! It hangs on my sliding glass door and reaches low enough for him to nudge with his snout. I'm still trying to teach my other two pups to signal with the bells, but so far so good! The product is stable/sturdy and attaches easily to my slider handle. I am please with it and would recommend.

I was recommended these bells for potty training. I was surprised it wasn’t made cheap! Sturdy and solid bells. Didn’t work for my dogs because I wasn’t consistent enough. Good product though!

Love this idea! No scratched up door. She loves the jingle and sometimes rings it when she doesn’t need to go—no treat! But is thrilled when she does get it right. She’s only 4 months old, but I think she’ll get it with consistency.
