| Noelle rang the potty bell & I scared her! My dear little puppy, Noelle, rang her bell by the door to let me know that she had to go outside. I was so excited and surprised that I squealed and scared her half to death. She took off like she did something horrible! Now I don't know if she'll ever do it again. I picked her up right away and praised and kissed her but I feel so terrible. We still ring it together when we go out and she doesn't seem afraid of it, I hope I didn't traumatize her. |

| it's hard when we are excited not to be loud. Try to give her praise in your normal voice level - she'll still hear your inflection. She sounds like a very smart girl - she'll do it again for you!
