FOLKSMATE Dog Door Bells for Potty Training, Buckle Adjust Puppy Dog Door Bells with Extra Loud Bells for Dogs Training, Housebreaking, Door Knob, Dog Bell to Go Outside Puppy Pet Supplies Black

This bell works great. Easy to hang, light weight, and adjustable length for our small dog. They ring loud enough to hear but not startle people (or the dog). I like the solid color as well. The fabric feels strong and souls last a good while!

The media could not be loaded.  So I got custody of Molly in the divorce because her father was trifling. And it really was a good thing because we are better off, but I decided that our big house with the big dog door (where Molly could go in and out as she pleased) was too much space to rattle around in. My new house was not big enough to install another big dog door for my sweet, 150 lb. dog with a big bladder. After spending too much time with Molly standing and staring at me apparently trying to let me know that she wanted to go outside, I ordered this doggie doorbell.She was easy to train by pulling the doorbell out and touching her nose with it as I said, "Ring your bell," (in a sing-songy voice) immediately praising her, and letting her go outside. So I paired a verbal prompt with a partial physical prompt of ringing the bell, and her reinforcement was to get what she wanted which was to go outside. Google "Pavlov's dog!"As she grew accustomed to it, I pulled out less and less of the doorbell and eventually let it hang at the door at which time I would prompt her to touch it with her nose. If she didn't, I would say, "Ring your bell!", tap the bell, and encourage her to touch it with her nose. Now, she does it all by herself. She even has the same doorbell on the outside of the screen door so she can let me know that she needs to come back in.Sometimes, she cops an attitude and stands outside and barks at me. I just say, "You're not going to talk to me like that! You need to ring your bell." And she does.Giving Molly a method to communicate this particular need has made me wonder what else she could communicate.Her brother, Stash, the cat with a moustache who is indoors only, rang the bell the other day after she rang it and went outside. I'm pretty confident that if Stash were an outdoor cat, I could train him to use it as well.So this bell is pretty durable and sturdy because it gets worn out by this 150 lb dog. It's long enough that little dogs could reach it. And the bells are loud enough that you can hear it in the other room.I highly recommend it for potty training. You can't just hang it up and have it work automatically. You do have to train your pet to use it. Do it in small steps moving the pet closer and closer to the final behavior that you want which is to ring it independently.I'm an elementary teacher with a doctorate from Vanderbilt, and I'm studying to be a BCBA. But you don't need my training to use this product. Remember, successive small steps towards the final behavior you want to see your pet exhibiting. I hope this helps someone.

I have loved using these beeps to potty train my dog! They are super adjustable and they come with a wall mount if you don’t want them hanging on your door handle!

Too many bells attached for my 14 week old puppy, so I simply removed a few. Works well provided she doesn't hit it to hard. Otherwise it falls off its included hook.

We got a Bernadoodle puppy and wanted to try teaching her to ring the bell when she goes outside. We just hang it over the doorknob. She took to it right away and uses it religiously. Sometimes she just wants to lay on the deck and enjoy the weather but she knows that we will let her out if she rings it. Come to think of it, Maybe we are the ones that are now “bell trained….”

I love these bells and have used them for years! They are high quality and affordable! These definitely deter my dog from unnecessary barking. I will continue to buy this product!

This looks like a nice item but the main snap came off completely the first time I unsnapped it so now there is just a hole in the strap. Luckily it was cheap and there are other lower snaps that can be used farther down. Not worth returning. The bells sound good and are nice and big.

I had to get two of these so I can have one for on the go. If you're busy around the house and don't have time to watch every time your dog needs to go outside, then you definitely need to train your dog to use these bells. It was not hard to train either one of them to use it, though they were young and it was done while they were being potty trained. It might even be easier to train your dog to use them if they're already potty trained because all you have to do is use their paw to ring it while they're sitting at the door, then let them out. Maybe they'll ring it by accident if they're door scratchers. At any rate, these bells tell me right away if they need to go out, even if it's the middle of the night, sometimes. I've noticed that sometimes my dogs use their nose on the bell and it doesn't ring it loud enough for me to hear. I've watched them, and they'll usually ring it louder if I ignore them. Just a single word of warning here: The dogs will figure out how to use the bells to train you! My dogs will use them just to get me up. Sometimes one will ring it if the other one is outside so I'll let the outside dog in, and sometimes they'll ring it if they want me to play with them, or go get them a treat. I disuage this behavior by making them go outside for a period of time every time they ring the bells so there's no confusion why they're there! lol. I also love that there are three different levels of bells, so no matter how big or little your dog is, or how they prefer to ring them, they can reach.

This product is good for training your puppy and it long so any size dog can reach it hanging from your door handle. However, I was disappointed as the price fluctuates a lot, after purchasing the price dropped like $3 a couple times but not a big deal. Would recommend

If I was not traumatized by the shrieks of my puppy I would have taken a video to share! It serves its purpose to potty train but the problem is that the dogs paws keep getting caught in the bell and the dog would cry out in pain! And this has happened several times - today I just decided to take it down I’ve seen my dog suffer enough! It’s a great idea and I would have given 5 stars if the bells were closed ! The manufacturer must find a way to close the bells to avoid the dog from getting hurt!!

So I tried to train my dog with these bells on a few occasions and have had no success. When he was 4-5 months he would bark and growl at them, and as he got older he would just try to chew and attack them. They're really loud which is a pro if you live in a big house and you want to be able to hear them from anywhere, but they're unncessarily loud for apartment dwellers in my opinion. I have friends who use these for their dogs and have never had any issues so I don't want to completly knock them, but they didn't do the trick for us. We eneded up switching to recordable buttons and had great success.
