After reading on here some of the successes I decided to purchase these at my local pet store since Balon was still have pee accidents! I put them on the wall next to the door and the first two times he went out I rang them and said "you need to go outside, ring your bells". About one hour after the second time I rang them, I hear the bells ring, I quickly get up and there is Balon sitting by the front door ringing his bells! WOW he is smart. Now I am trying to get the lab do use them! AWESOME

Wow! Thats amazing. I think I may invest in some as well.

Just be warned - they'll use those bell to train the rest of the household. Dakota is always stealing bones so Loki figured out that if he rings the bell Dakota will always run out first as soon as we open the door. So now he fakes like he's going out and then after she's outside he goes and gets his bone back. So smart and sneaky!

lol now that is smart! Honestly though it amazes me how smart dogs can be.

That's incredible how fast they can understand!

Balon is a smart dog! That's great.

just wanted to update this does seem to be working it's funny even if I am just taking him outside to play he rings his bells on the way out, too cute!

Snow too But then again, huskies are just smart to begin with!

Isis loves to go outside, so the first thing she did after figuring out the bell was ring it every time she wanted to play, go for a walk, or just felt like she wasn't getting enough attention. After a bit, we started taking her out to her "potty spot" and then taking her in, before taking her right back out to play. That way, she knew the bell was for potty only, and she went out to play when we took her.

Of course that was before we got the fence, and taking her out involved putting collars on, leashes on, and running them outside. She would often ring the bell if we were watching tv or eating dinner, since we weren't paying attention to her.
