Tip of the Day
Today's tip is one a bit more for the dogs, but of course could be used for kitties if the situation applies. What we're talking about today is bell training. It can help to have a way for your dog to tell you they need to go to the bathroom. Since jumping and scratching at the door is not all that ideal, you can hang a bell, or a strand of bells, on the doorknob. Of course, make sure the design of the bell and any attachments are safe for your furbaby, especially if they're a chewer. Once you've selected and placed the bell to be used, training techniques such as positive reinforcement can be used to teach your dog to ring the bell prior to going outside to use to the restroom. This will allow your dog to make the connection that, if they ring the bell on the door, they will be let out to use the restroom. Just as with any training, this may take time, but with patience, practice, and positive reinforcement, everyone involved can get the hang of it. Of course, bells and other methods paired with positive reinforcement can be used for a various forms of training, for both dogs and cats.

Thimble is precious.
Hey cutie! I would love a purple cat face mug like that :)
Thimble is a cutie. I like the drawing and your tips are great. I just bought a bell for my great-niece to try to train her cat.
Thank you, Thimble!
