Tommy rings the bell!

In house breaking Tommy we have learned thatas he is so small we don't always realize that he has gone to stand by the door to go outside. A few times Tommy has waited by the door and then given up and just gone right there. And he is a rather quiet dog so we needed a way to help him make some noise when he needs to go pee. We bought a call bell from Office Depot, the ones that sit on hotel desks and have a sign beside them that reads, "Ring bell for service." We have been making Tommy hit the bell every time he goes outside. Mark said that this morning, he was trying to train Tommy to hit the bell by holding a treat right at the bell popper so that when Tommy tries to get to the treat he rings the bell with his nose :)

I was sitting by the door reading emails and out of nowhere I heard the call bell ring! Tommy is so quiet that I didn't realize he had come to stand beside me wanting to go out. But he rang the bell to get my attention! He's such a smart little puppy :)
