For two decades, PoochieBells has been the go-to training tool for pet owners looking to make potty training easier and more effective. As the original dog potty training bell, our handcrafted, American-made bells have helped millions of dogs communicate with their owners in a simple, reliable way.
As a retailer, offering PoochieBells is more than just selling a product. It is about building lifelong relationships with customers and their pets. By providing education on bell training, you position your store as a trusted resource for pet parents looking for effective solutions.
With the introduction of our new Adjustable PoochieBells, we continue our commitment to making life with dogs easier at every stage of their journey together. Whether training a new puppy or providing senior dogs with a comfortable way to communicate, PoochieBells ensures clear, frustration-free potty communication for all ages and breeds.
Bell training is one of the most effective ways to potty train a dog because it taps into a dog’s natural ability to make associations. Unlike barking or scratching at the door, which can be inconsistent and frustrating, a clear, consistent sound from a bell provides a reliable signal for both the pet and their family.
As a retailer, guiding customers through the bell training process can increase their success, leading to repeat visits and stronger customer relationships. Below is a simple training guide you can share.
Hang PoochieBells on the inside doorknob or a small hook next to the door. The new Adjustable PoochieBells allows pet parents to customize the length for any size dog. Let the dog sniff and interact with the bells. Some dogs may need encouragement, but avoid forcing them to touch the bells.
Every time you take the dog out for a potty break, gently guide their nose to ring the bell before opening the door. Immediately open the door and lead them outside.
Repeat this process every single time the dog goes outside for a bathroom break. If the dog does not ring the bell on their own, prompt them by guiding their nose to nudge and sniff their bell.
As the dog starts ringing the bell on their own, immediately open the door so they learn that the bell means “I need to go outside.” Avoid overusing praise and treats, as this can confuse the dog and turn bell ringing into a trick rather than a communication tool.
If the dog starts ringing the bell for playtime, do not reward this behavior by taking them outside to play. Only open the door if they need to go to the bathroom. If accidents still happen, increase supervision and ensure consistency in training.
Many pet parents struggle with bell training simply because they reinforce the wrong behaviors. As a trusted retailer, you can help guide them by pointing out these common mistakes.
Retailers and professional trainers across the country trust PoochieBells as the go-to potty training solution. Here is what they have to say.
I have been training all ages of dogs for over 12 years, and PoochieBells are my go-to product for potty training puppies.
