Once your dog knows to run to the bells and ring it on his own, he may take advantage of it at first by going over there every few minutes or every hour, etc.Īt first, this is okay! You want your dog to understand that ringing the bells means go outside – so go ahead and praise him and let him out. This is how you gradually shape your dog into touching the bells. If your learner has no interest, first start by rewarding them for looking at the target. So, if he was just looking, wait a few seconds before rewarding to see if he will take a step toward the bells, and the reward that. You want to look for your dog offering something over and above what he was doing before. Whichever your dog seems to prefer, use that, because it will make training easier.
