PoochieBells Solid Classic Black Dog Potty Training Doorbell


These work
These bells work. Our dog Juneau uses them every time she needs to use the restroom outside (See attached video to watch her use the bells!). Keep in mind this could take 6-8 weeks to learn, but once they figure it out it makes life a lot easier.

My dog is too dumb to use this
My cats have figured out that I open the door when they ring the bell. My girlfriend's dog that comes over a few times a month figured it out. My dog that goes outside seemingly thirty times a day stares at me like I'm a loon when I shake these in front of his face.

This product itself is a good idea, and it seems to work with every animal except Lab puppies. I'm hopeful he figures it out someday, but at the moment it doesn't do me a lot of good.
Great tool
These bells have been amazing for our puppy. We have a toy mini aussie and started teaching him the bells at 10 weeks and he picked it up the very next day. We live in an apartment, and found this was the most easiest way to find when he's gotta go. One downside, we did have phase where the puppy would take advantage to just go out to play. But with the proper amount of walks, he's resided to only sounding the alarm when it's time :)

All you do is shake them when you leave your house to go potty, and reward him with a treat when he rings them himself.
