House training is music to your ears with the Mighty Paw Tinkle Bells Dog Doorbell. Allowing your dog to communicate when it’s time to go outside, just hang these bells on the door, and dogs can be easily trained to swat the bells when nature calls. It easily hangs around any doorknob with a loop that snaps into place with a reinforced rivet, and the nylon ribbon is both attractive and durable—standing up to tugs, scratches, and bites. And most importantly, the silver-coated bells make a pleasant, clear sound that can be heard from other rooms.

Instructions

Choose a Location

Place your Mighty Paw Tinkle Bells on, or near, the door handle where your dog exits to go "Tinkle”. Keep in mind that dogs typically use their nose or their paw to ring the bells once trained.

Form a Connection

Each time you let your dog out to go to the bathroom, reach down and ring the bells. Choose a phrase to accompany this, such as “Tinkle Time!” Immediately let your dog out. Repeat this each time until your dog connects ringing the bells with being let out to go to the bathroom.

Reinforce with Praise

Praise and/or give a treat only when “Tinkle Time” was a success. Your dog should associate the bells with bathroom time only. Consistency is key. Do not reward if your dog rings the bell simply to be let outside.

FAQ

My dog seems scared of the bells. What do I do?

This is most commonly because the bells are too loud for the dog. We recommend removing 2 of the 3 sets of jingle bells to “quiet” the sound. Gradually expose your dog to the bell by lightly ringing the bell when let out for potty time. As your dog adjusts to the sound gradually add the jingle bells back so that you can hear the ringing of the bells from other rooms of the house.

My dog is using the bells to signal play time instead of potty time. What do I do?

Consistency is key. When your dog creates the correct action (potty time) you reward them with praise or a treat. If they ring the bell for any other reason there is no reward or praise. Over time the dog will establish a connection that the bells are only used to communicate potty time.

Can the Tinkle Bells be used inside and outside?

Yes. The fabric is tough, durable, and weather-proof nylon webbing that can stand up against the outside elements and the most playful dogs.

Will Tinkle Bells work for small dog breeds?

Yes. Using a standard height door handle the Tinkle Bells hang approximately 9-10 inches from the floor. However if you decide you would like the Tinkle Bells closer to the floor you can use the free wall hook included with your purchase.

Should the Tinkle Bells stay on the door at all times?

Yes. Consistency is key. This is a very important part of the training. Remember we are creating a connection and a new habit and consistency will make this much easier.

Will Tinkle Bells work on all door types?

The included rivet allows the Tinkle Bells to attach through a handle or over top of a door know. This makes the product versatile to be used with virtually all doors and hooks.

How long does it take before my dog uses the Tinkle Bell consistently?

Most dogs start to grasp the concept within a few days to a week. However this varies from dog to dog. Some dogs it can take a couple of months. Remember consistency is key. The more consistent you are with the training the faster your dog will learn to communicate.

How old does my dog need to be in order to begin the Tinkle Bell training?

We recommend 3-4 months old to initiate the training program. This is usually old enough to understand the concept of the training program. Remember young puppies are energetic and playful. Stay consistent with praise only when potty time is achieved (not play time).

Can older dogs be taught to use the Tinkle Bells?

Yes. Tinkle Bells are perfect for older dogs as well.

bells ring low

There are only two sets of bells on this instead of three sets as advertised. The bells don't ring loud enough. It's feckless.

Not what I expected

Moved to a new house, so we needed a second set of bells. These bells are not what I expected. They are fairly small and require a really good push to be heard in another room. My old set has larger bells that make a louder sound. These work and are nicely mounted, but you better have really good hearing.

Review of product.

All items in my order were nice and the shirts fit perfectly and were cute.

Good bell short though

The product has a good bell I would have liked it to be 2 inches longer or adjustable.

Accessible, but quiet bells

This was quite easy to train our 10mo BMD to touch the bells with her nose, and we hope she'll soon understand that she can ring to alert us to potty break. I only wish the bells were louder. Our girl gives such gentle nudges, that I worry I won't hear her ring them if I'm in another room (1000 sq ft home).

Incorrect Product Images

This could be mixup of product ID's rather than images, but the product I received versus the images and product description is not correct. I specifically chose this option from Mighty Paw because it was supposed to have 3 levels of bells. My dog is tall so that top set of bells is important. First product I received was missing the top bell, seemed too short and had a different knob attachment. Chewy was super helpful and understanding and sent through a replacement. The replacement had the exact same issues, the lack of the correct amount of bells being the real problem for me. The product I received does look like another Might Paw product in their inventory, just not the one described on this page. All that to say, beware of the imagery here it may not be what you are actually purchasing.

Fantastic!!!!!

The bells have created a monster!! My 10-month old puppy took to the bells right away -- always uses this for the purpose for which it is intended -- but has also realized the bells get mom's attention to go out to play with leaves and just sniff the fresh air!!! If I don't respond quickly enuf, he hits the bells harder, then harder -- so hard to keep from laughing!! On the serious side, item is constructed very well and, I'm sure, will last a long time.

Cute and effective

Love this hanging bell, very visible bright green and kind of a sleighbell jingle. My pup associates it with going out, we're working on training him to hit it himself.

Interesting Training Device

The contraction is sturdy and the bells jingle loudly. We have lever door knobs rather than the round ones and it tends to slide down. The puppy is still a little small to reach the bottom of the strand so training is maybe a month down the road.

The bells ring

My pup's inside accidents have gone down since using this. He has rung the bells and gone outside and done nothing - but he's also rung the bells and done his business outside. I understand this system is to indicate when they have to go, but if the pup gets outside and burns some energy and the relieves himself (outside), isn't that a win? Only took a few time getting him to understand what gets him outside and he picked it up quickly.
