Dog Training Tutorial: Teaching Your Dog to Use the Dog Doorbell
If you've recently purchased our Dog Doorbell, you're on the path to improving communication with your furry friend. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to effectively train your dog to use the doorbell:
Step 1: Introduction
Start by introducing the dog doorbell to your furry friend. Allow them to sniff, touch, and explore it. This step is all about creating a positive association with the doorbell. When they show interest in it, reward them with treats and verbal praise.
Step 2: Positive Association
Now, it's time to reinforce the idea that interacting with the doorbell is a good thing. Whenever your dog touches the bell or makes it ring, reward them generously. Use their favorite treats and plenty of enthusiastic "good dog" affirmations. The goal is to make them understand that ringing the bell brings positive outcomes.
Step 3: Bell Ringing
In this step, gently demonstrate how to ring the bell yourself. Encourage your dog to watch you as you press the bell, and then guide their paw or nose to ring it. Once they do it, celebrate the achievement with treats and praise. Repetition is key here.
Step 4: Potty Signal
Now, let's establish a connection between the doorbell and potty time. Before taking your dog out, encourage them to ring the doorbell. Use simple commands like "outside" or "potty" while they ring it. When they do, open the door and allow them to do their business. Make sure to reward them after they've done their duty.
Step 5: Consistency
Consistency is the key to success in dog doorbell training. Be patient and continue to practice the above steps regularly. Each time your dog successfully rings the doorbell for any reason, acknowledge their efforts with treats and praise. This reinforces the training and keeps your dog engaged.
Remember, every dog learns at their own pace, so be patient, keep training sessions short and enjoyable, and, most importantly, have fun bonding with your furry companion during the process. Happy training!

We have trained a new pet to ring this bell when it needs to go outside. The arm on the bell didn't work for us but the bell works great. Noise level is just right.

I have been using this bell for 10 years. I’ve only had to replace it one time. The only reason I had to replace it is because I have a very big dog with a very big paw that would use the bell, not only to go outside, but to be fed, petted, to have a snack ect… so I’m very surprised it lasted as long as it did.

Works well, besides that when you ring it, it rings for probably 20 seconds since there's so much elasticity in the metal. Needs another anchor hole closer to the top.

My dogs learned to use it by the second day we had it put up! It works great! I put one on the inside of the back door and one on the outside of the back door. As you can see in the photo, my door is all scratched up from my dogs previously scratching or jumping on the door. This will help to save my door from further damage. The only issue is that I wish I could hear the outside bell better, or there was a way to make it alert my phone or ring a buzzer inside or something. It's a little hard to hear. Still, a great idea!One other somewhat funny downside: If you have a dog that is easily bored and likes to go in and out repeatedly, the bell may get annoying - I may have to stuff a cotton ball up it at some point LOL

Still trying to get puppy to learn the bell butttt it’s loud enough to hear across the house but not annoying at all. It dings for a moment since the part you screw to the wall bounces which is great. Easy to install. Good quality and is small but not too small which is what I was worried about. My kids haven’t broken it yet so it seems pretty durable !

I bought this for my 3 month old puppy. Every time I let him out, I took his paw and rang bell. In a month he was ringing it on his own. Such a help with potty training. A must have.

The bell was easy to install and my dogs adjusted to it pretty quickly and well! Got this because my dog kept having accidents in the house and I wanted to be sure she could better communicate when she needed to go out even if I’m a few rooms away.I warn all though to consider your dog and whether or not they take advantage of the weak (me). My yard is up against a woodsy field area so I tend to get a lizards, birds, squirrels, and other animals passing through to say hello. My dog typically chased these animals into my plant in the back corner of yard. It wasn’t a problem at first but now that I have quite a few mice who have decided to squat in my yard rent free and now my dog just constantly RING RING RING RING!! So all in all. Have had lots of experience with the bell. It’s great. It’s loud. And it makes sure you get off your butt to let the manipulators who use and abuse you out to chase wild life and solidify the fact that they are indeed the boss of you.
