    By the way, the bell on the door is a mixed blessing. It helped a lot when he was a puppy, but he also figured out he could get my attention whenever he wanted even if he didn’t have to go out to potty. He definitely went through a stage (a very annoying one) of over ringing the bell. I had to take it down, but it’s back up now because he rarely does false rings now.

    One of the best things i taught gigi was pee and poop command as a puppy . From 8 weeks when she poops or pees we will say good poop and good pee. in a few months she has learned and now it is so much easier when we are travelling as i can pull on the side of the road and ask her to pee or when i am leaving and i know she has been inside the house for a while and need to pee before getting in the car so she is good for a few hours. I can even tell her poop is overgrown areas than in people front yard . Especially when we are long distance camping trips.


    keep working, i actually saw my neighbor do this when she had trainer over and decided when we got another puppy we will. Its such a great tool.

    LOL, I have always assigned words to the action too. Now I think they fake it. We are going for a ride in the car, do you need a Hurry Up? A Finish? Hmmm, well, I don't see any yellow running down that white birch tree truck and there sure as heck is not a brown bump on the lawn either.

    My girl did that at the same age and I just kept cleaning with scouts honour not knowing what to do.
    She just outgrew it I guess cause she quit at 6 months and has never gone pee or poo in the house since.

    Our lab is just four months old. We have had her for three weeks so we are still in the potty training stages. When it was nicer out and we had the door open she would finally go out the doggie door on the porch and do her poops but still needed our reminders to go out to pee. Yep she still makes mistakes in the house if we do not take her out about every hour. We are hoping that she will ring the bell on our door when she has to go out now that it is winter time here up north. (our other dogs always were bell trained) Since she is being trained as a service dog she poops and pees on command outside when we tell her to go potty and hurry up. Now to get her to ask to go outside. I say be easy on your dog, its frustrating but they will soon get it. Reward when they do poop outside and make a big deal out of it.l
