Here’s a step-by-step guide: Potty Training with Potty Bells
1. Introduce the Bells
Hang the potty bells on the door you’ll use for potty breaks.
Let your puppy sniff and investigate them.
2. Associate the Bells with the Door
Every time you take your puppy out to potty, ring the bells yourself before opening the door.
Use a consistent cue like “Potty” or “Outside”
3. Encourage Your Puppy to Touch the Bells
Gently guide their nose or paw to touch the bells before going out.
Reward with praise or a small treat when they make contact.
4. Reinforce with Potty Breaks
Take your puppy outside immediately after ringing the bells.
Reward them when they go potty outside to strengthen the association.
5. Watch for Signs & Encourage Independence
If your puppy goes to the door but doesn’t ring the bells, encourage them to do so before opening it.
Praise and reward when they use the bells on their own.
6. Be Consistent & Patient
Take your puppy out regularly, especially after meals, naps, and playtime.
With consistency and positive reinforcement, your puppy will learn to ring the bells when they need to go!
