Taz Did It!!!! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

vegasrush · 07-12-2008, 10:03 PM

For 2 weeks now I have been working with Taz to use a service bell when he needs to go outside. (Rather than scratching the heck out of my legs). Well tonight he rang the bell himself, not once, but twice. I am such a proud mama. My furbaby is SOOOO SMART!!!

Way to go, Taz!!

I got my Yorkie a week and a half ago. From the first day, I have Lexi ring the Tell Bell every time before we go out. (I have to hold her paw and do it myself.) So you are giving me hope that one day, she will do it herself!

At least she isn't ringing it on her own, for fun. I know they can test you, and you have to bring them out every time they ring it.

I want mine to learn to do that. Where do I learn how to teach them? I already have the bells but wasn't sure how to start. I'm so proud of yours!!!

That is the coolest thing I have heard. My yorkie scratches at my legs or the door.

Think I will check it out some more.

Every time you take them "outside", you pick them up and tap the bell with their paw and say "OUTSIDE". For the 1st week or so, he would try & wiggle out, but I still would tap his paw and tell him good boy. In the last few days, he was not as afraid of it, so I started with treats. I wouldn't give him one unless he did it. He wanted the treat and started scratching the ground like he was going to ring it. With a little more encouragement, he did it. Now I am telling him everytime he scratches me to go out, to "ring the bell". He knows how to do it now, so I won't take him out til he rings it!!!

My other one Gabby hits it with her chin when she is going for the treat. She really doesn't know what she is doing yet, but she wants a treat too!!!

My Yorkie and Maltese just go to the door and knock (well, more like scratch) when they want to go outside to relieve themselves. They use the paper at night. I was pretty difficult to train the maltese to use the paper but he got it at about 4 months. I recently got my yorkie and she just peed on the paper by herself because she saw the maltese do it.
