Finally We Heard Bells

[Nina, Phil, Harlow & Lacey]

Success! Harlow finally rang the bells on the back door by herself to let me know she needed to go outside. Progress at last. I am teleworking today and was sitting at the kitchen counter when I heard the bells. My first thought was 'what was that', my second thought was 'OMG, it is the bells'. I turned around to see Harlow standing at the back door. I quickly jump up to let her outside and tell her what a wonderful dog she was. She even did her business.

Looks like we have consistency. Harlow rang the bells each time she needed to go outside today. I think it has helped that I have not closed the door completely. She tugs the bells to open the door, I hear them and tell her what a smart and good girl she is. I then open the door and say 'Outside'. We couldn't do the peanut butter on the bells thing because our 'fat boys' are too food motivated.

Harlow is almost 6 months old. We started doing bell training in early June. I had about given up myself.

I am thinking of getting bells so I am also wondering how long it took and how old Harlow is.
