Re: Bell Ringing... Hey, well done! Tell me how to do it! Have you got a vid of her doing it? I've been wanting to teach Charlie that....
Re: Bell Ringing... Hey well done Sophie, you tell me your technique and I will tell you mine Helen x
Re: Bell Ringing... This is so unfair! Bell ringing is not in my puppy book. Spill the secret technique!
Re: Bell Ringing... OK here is my technique:- 1. Hang a cow bell on a price of string on the backdoor handle and one on the outside handle 2. Have your treats ready 3. My word was 'TOUCH', when Charlie even looks at the bell say 'TOUCH' - treat 4. Say 'TOUCH' and Even if he slightly touches it - treat 5. Say 'TOUCH' and when he rings it - BIG treat and lots of praise It seriously took no time at all and now Charlie rings that damn bell all the time to go out and to gain my attention to play ;D Helen x
Re: Bell Ringing... Hmm...yeah....I am worried we are making "a rod for our own backs" here. Still at the go-and-ring-the-bell-and-you-will-get-a-treat stage rather than anything actually useful ;D
Re: Bell Ringing... Ah Jac, did you open the door when she rang the bell? Sorry Julie, you must open the door when Charlie achieves any othe the exercises to show him what you want. I would make a terrible teacher : Helen x
Re: Bell Ringing... OK confused Jac, why do you want Lilly to ring a bell? Charlie rings to go outside. Helen x
Re: Bell Ringing... Umh - need to ask Sophie that one - just as a trick I think :-\ I'm not the trick teacher in this house. Think it was a rainy-day project.
Re: Bell Ringing... Well, I think it's a neat trick, and would love to hear how Sophie did it when she is next on line.
Re: Bell Ringing... Well done Sophie,its very satisfying when you achieve something with them isn't it Best wishes Angela x
Re: Bell Ringing... I just taught her simply to 'Ring the Bell', next i am planning to teach her to ring it to go outside... Shouldn't be too hard - she is a very smart dog Our bell is not like a cow bell it is one where you hit the top, i will try and get a video of her doing it Sophie x
Re: Bell Ringing... hi sophie i just got one of them bells, its a service bell,....why jasper as been bored we are teaching tricks for fun , we just say ring the bell if you are happy, down with the nose, ...its all for fun ......it can be his party piece,...keep the tricks coming
