<< How to Potty Train a Puppy Dog Dog Potty Training - Back Yard Buddy >>
Brie is a 4 lb. 2 year old maltipoo. When she was a pup my wife and I trained her to ring a bell to go the bathroom and ring a bell outside to gain entry into the house. For two weeks we would take her paw and ring the bell when we took her out to go the bathroom. We always rewarded her potty breaks with small treats and still do. This video is long due to her confusion. Since im standing there (to record her) she is confused why the door isnt opening. Minutes earlier she was ringing the bell with authority like she always does. I need to hide a cam to record it better. I will repost then. -Mike

@villarreal661 Hello, took only 2 weeks to train. We would take her paw and hit the bell before we let her outside. When she would come back we did the same, ring the bell to re-enter we give her a small treat. As for accidents inside the home, i can’t explain it, she never has any. She knows to go outside and the bell gets her there. She usually eats and drinks when we are home, consumes very little when were out.

how long did it …
how long did it take her to learn to go outside. my maltipoo knows to go outside when shes in her crate but when shes playing with my husband running around the house n rough play she decides she wants to go inside shes 4 months weve had her for 2 months. at night she stays in a restroom we made her a little apartment out of boxes its so cute well she has her own bathroom in there but rarely has accidents unless she drinks water late but i take her out at 4am n when we leave she stays in there

@feelingcrafty So sorry for the delayed response … In our experience, the bell training teaches your dog where it is acceptable to go to the bathroom. Since we implemented this 2 years ago, we have had NO accidents. The longest we have left her home is 10 hours. Our dog goes before we leave and doesn’t eat or drink much water when we are away. We do not have a doggy door due to raccoons, squirrels, skunks, possums and snakes on occasion. California coast living

I have a 4-month-old maltipoo and we’re dealing with potty training right now. The bell trick is great! I just wonder what happens when nobody is in the house to open the door for her to go potty. Do yo have a doggie door?
