How to stop my dog from ringing the "outside" bell?

He LOVES you.
Being with you
Playing with you
You did it
Your fault...don't blame a trained dog
You are the one at the top of the food chain here...right?
Get over it! Laugh about it! Tell all your friends what a SMART dog you have. Have a great day!

How does your dog ring the outside bell from inside your house? To do that he would have to be outside? Am I missing something here?

Maybe you can install a "treat" bell that he can ring every time he wants a treat. Ha ha ha. Your dog is very cute.
With the bell, you had a system of letting him out on his terms. And now you want to change things?

im glad you're using that technique for that. being that he's still very young, he's got a lot of energy. so he's letting you know that he wants more exercise. i don't think you can do anything about him ringing the bell to go out. unless you want him to stop ringing the bell, period.

it's funny. cuz my Boxador, Onyx, does the same thing. so, what i do is, every time she rings the bell, instead of letting her run to her D.P.P (Designated Potty Place) i walk her there on-leash. she doesn't ring the bell as much anymore. but she still rings the bell to try and get a little exercise. it might work for you. but... then again, i cant guarantee it.

try it, though. if your pup learned that fast, im sure he can learn to ring the bell ONLY for PottyTime.


:]

he loves being outside! maybe take him out more often and play with him out there instead of just taking him out to use the bathroom. Dogs need exercise too.

Tether him to you for potty breaks then he can't ring the bell. Simple.
