Things You'll Need
- Bell
- Cord
- Dog food

Instructions
Tie the bell to the cord. Place the bell near the door your dog exits. The bell must be low enough for the dog to hit the bell with its paw.
Put food in the dog's dish and feed the dog. Watch the dog for signs that it needs to eliminate. Most dogs need to have a bowel movement 45 minutes to an hour after eating.
Take the dog to the bell. Hold the dog's paw and ring the bell with the paw. You do not touch the bell.
Take the dog outside and stay with it until the dog has eliminated. Praise the dog and offer a small dog treat.
Repeat until the dog rings the bell to go outside and eliminate.
