Caldwell's Potty Bells Original Dog Doorbell, Black, 2-pack

In November, we got our first ever pup (border collie) at just over 8 weeks old. He was fairly “paper trained”, usually hitting the puppy pads, but we wanted to get right on getting him outside for bathroom duty., and picked these bells up at about 3 months old. These bells were exactly what we needed. I used one for both the front and back door, gave the bells a quick kick or shake as we put him on leash, while saying “go potty.” He actually rang them himself the SECOND day we had them (shocking us all). We’ve had no accidents since then. The only downside? Doggo LOVES to be outside, so he will also ring just to go out and play! I’m okay with that though!

I think that this is a great idea to train puppies but I started too late. This need to be started right when you start training your puppy. My puppy was already house broken when I decided to use something more convenient.

I purchased the bell for two reasons: to block the outside door panel that my Dane, Jack, was scratching to be let in and to give a sound that the door was being opened and closed. Works great. Very nice quality.

these are a great training tool. My new puppy loves them and he knows that when he plays with them he gets to go out

My small puppy is using this bell well. It makes clear sound well even when she use her nose to touch the bell. I can notice her potty time better = lesser mess in house = :D

These bells were perfect for training our rescue Dane to alert us its time to go potty! It took her about a week during which we would show and ring the bell to go potty for her to get the hang of it- to ring the bells on the door handle and after that she lets us know right away- if its urgent she even figured out to hit it repeatedly- lol! She has us trained too!

Love these bells... great quality! And service... would recommend these to everyone

It literally took my 4 month old puppy 2 days to figure out these potty Bells. Then my other dog watched him and she learned how to do them.

I ordered this product for my year old rescue dog who was kept in a cage for 16hrs a day and then simply let out at night to roam free. These conditions have left my buddy unable to make the connection that he should go to the door and signal to be let out for potty time. Although I think this product would be excellent for a puppy and and potting training a young dog, they don't seem to be helping my Luciano in the sense that he won't go to the bells and signal to be let out. What he will do is, come to the door when I stand and shake the bells myself. Granted - I've not had this item long enough and will need to do more associative training, but I think that if you have a young pup I ordered this product for my year old rescue dog who was kept in a cage for 16hrs a day and then simply let out at night to roam free.

I keep at it with Luciano and am hoping that one day, I'll hear the bells ring and find him standing at the door. However, I would still recommend this product. … more

These bells are sturdy and also the price is affordable to have more than one to keep packed for when we visit family.
