Dog Training Bells

Dog training bells are a simple yet effective tool that can be used to help housetrain your dog. They work by teaching your dog to associate the sound of the bells with going outside to relieve themselves. This can be a very helpful tool for dogs who are struggling with housetraining, as it gives them a way to communicate their needs to you.

Types of Dog Training Bells

There are two main types of dog training bells: door bells and handheld bells. Door bells are hung on a doorknob or handle, and handheld bells are held in the owner’s hand. Both types of bells work in the same way, but door bells are generally considered to be more effective for housetraining, as they are always in the same place and your dog can easily reach them.

How to Use Dog Training Bells

1. Hang the bells on a doorknob or handle that your dog can easily reach. If you are using handheld bells, keep them within your dog’s reach at all times.

2. Take your dog outside to relieve themselves. Once they have finished, praise them and give them a treat.

3. As you are walking back inside, ring the bells. You can do this yourself, or you can teach your dog to ring the bells themselves.

4. Continue to ring the bells every time you take your dog outside to relieve themselves. Eventually, your dog will learn to associate the sound of the bells with going outside.

Tips for Success

✤ Be consistent with your training.
** It is important to ring the bells every time you take your dog outside to relieve themselves, even if you think they don’t need to go. This will help your dog to learn the association more quickly.

✤ Be patient.
** It may take some time for your dog to learn to use the bells. Don’t get discouraged if they don’t get it right away. Just keep practicing and be patient.

✤ Use positive reinforcement.
** Reward your dog with praise and treats when they use the bells correctly. This will help them to associate the bells with something positive.

✤ Additional Benefits of Dog Training Bells
In addition to helping with housetraining, dog training bells can also be used to:

✤ Teach your dog to communicate other needs. For example, you can teach your dog to ring the bells when they want to come inside or when they want to eat.

✤ Help your dog to feel more secure. Knowing that they have a way to communicate their needs can help your dog to feel more secure and confident.

✤ Reduce anxiety. Dog training bells can help to reduce anxiety in dogs who are struggling with separation anxiety or other forms of anxiety.
