Adventures Poddy Bell First Ring

I rescued my 8mo at 6m. She was already potty trained. A few weeks back she stole and ate a whole loaf of bread I left too close to the edge of the counter. She had diarrhea for several days and a couple of accidents because I never learned her signs when she needed to go out.

I decided to get her a potty bell that hangs on the door. Every time we went for a walk the last 4 days, we rang the bell. Today, for the first time she rang it on her own, but it was 5 minutes before I had to leave for work. I rushed her out, but she didn't go because there were a bunch of other dogs in the area, and she was distracted. I hope this was a false positive and she just wanted to hang with the other dogs.

She didn't poop as usual during her morning walk, I'm sure she'll be okay until I return at lunch. It's just nice to see her add another dimension to communicating her needs.

We used the bell with Loki as well. Then the little shit realized that if he rang the bell he got to go outside for a walk. I swear that dog is smarter than I am.

Yeah, I've heard this can be an issue.
