kendalyn Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 I am wondering if someone knows where I can get a bell for Buck to either step on or push with his nose. I need it because right now he scratches at the back door to be let outside. That's fine for right now because the back door (it's a glass sliding door with a wood frame) is old and needs to be replaced. But it is going to be replaced soon and I don't want him scratching up the new door. So I plan on teaching him to push a button on a bell or something to let me know that he wants out. I would prefer it be an electric bell that I can hang on the wall. It just needs to be something small that he can push and it will make a noise. I figure it'll be a lot easier to replace the scratching behavior then to eliminate it. Plus it's kind of nice having Buck tell me that he wants to go outside. Does anybody know where I can get something like this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iceyshiver21 Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 What about something like a door bell?? Sometimes you can find ones that are big and square so it would be easy for him to hit. Well thats what we use with our buck ;) :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kendalyn Posted January 20, 2004 Author Share Posted January 20, 2004 Oh yeah. I didn't know they made wireless doorbells. That might work pretty well. :-) I'll have to make sure it doesn't sound like my other doorbell otherwise I'll be letting the dog out when people are trying to visit!

atghylin Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 I saw an actual doggie doorbell at... I think it was Foster's and Smith online. But it was a couple of years ago so I'm not exactly sure. It wouldn't hurt to take a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 I had to start using a bell for Cody. HE NEVER would let us know when he has to go potty, he'd just go out when Zoey did. I got a big bell in the christmas department ( alot of good that is now! ) BUT you can try any craft store. Michales and jo annes, they all have bells there! good luck!

courtnek Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 If you're not too far away from the door you can get a craft bell and hang it on the doorknob, and teach him to swat it with his paw. But ou have to be within hearing distance, otherwise the wireless bell will work better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
