We thought we were being really smart, by hanging a string of bells on the door so that Mango could ring them when she wanted to go out.... Hahaha, it didn't take long for her to realize that "ringing the bells" means that "deanna and rich" will jump up from whatever they are doing and run to the door grabbing coats and treats, and running outside, and lots of praise and attention.
What fun for the puppy !!!
Fortunately, that mellowed out when we stopped giving treats just for ringing the bell, and only when she actually pee'd once outside in the appropriate spot.
It's working pretty well now !!!
