Hudson's potty bell embroidered with his name.
When Hudson came to us, he was not house trained because he had been a predominantly outside dog at his previous home. Well we changed that pretty fast! At the advice of someone on the weimaraner addicts forum, I got Hudson a potty bell to hang on the back door. Every time we take him out we show him the bells and ring them and I always say "Let's go potty!" in my really high voice. Well on 2.10.09 Hudson rang the potty bell all by himself to let us know he needed to go outside. Me and Will were sitting drinking our morning coffee and we heard the bells, we were so excited, he was standing by the door waiting for us!! He got lots of praise. He also did it this morning, AND he hasn't had an accident in the house for over a week, this dog is sooooo smart. :) Ok I'm a little bias, but still.....
Chloe used a bell for a while. My husband got tired of the sound of it all the time so we took it down but now she just noses the handle really hard. We can hear it through most of the house.
ReplyDeleteThat is great that he picked up on it so fast! It is helpful!
