Description
The Coachi Toilet Training Bells are a must-have for owners of puppies that need to be toilet trained. It is a simple, but effective idea. Toilet training can be a difficult and challenging task for dogs and their owners. By placing the Toilet Training Bells in a prominent position, ideally, on a door handle, he will be able to let you know when he needs to go outside. This is a much better solution than other communication techniques such as barking or door scratching.
Features:
Effective
Colourful and bright
Adjustable length
Fitting Instructions:
The Coachi Toilet Training Bells are best located on or very close to a door leading to the garden. Hang the Training Bells on the door handle, if possible. Adjust the height of the bells so that they are comfortably reached by your dog's nose.
How to train your puppy to use the Bells:
Put simply, the Training Bells are a way for your dog to communicate that he needs to go to toilet. By nudging the bells, he is letting your know that he needs to go.
1. Familiarise your puppy with the Bells - the feel, the sight and the sound of them. To begin with, he might even find them a bit scary. But, when he associates them with being let outside and having a treat and lots of praise, he will soon learn that they are exciting and not scary. Lead him up to the Bells and let him have a sniff and, when he nudges them with his nose, give him a treat and some praise. If he doesn't seem interested in investigating the Bells, smear some tasty food onto the bells to encourage him.
2. When your puppy approaches the Bells by himself, encourage him to ring them. As soon as he has done this, open the door to let him out into the garden and offer him a treat. If your puppy is, at first, reluctant to ring the Bells, give him a hand by ringing them yourself and immediately open the door so that he associates bell ringing with the door being opened. Reinforce the bell ringing with a reference word such as 'Outside'. It might take a while to get to this stage, but be persistent as puppies learn at different rates.
N.B. At first, your puppy may ring the bells because he associates it with going outside and having fun and not going to toilet. This is quite acceptable, but continue to reinforce the training.
