It's not very often that I have something to bragg about Charlie, but today I do so Charlie and I thought we would share it with you! I have taught him to ring a bell on the inside of the back door when he wants to go outside and to ring a bell on the outside when he wants to come back in. This only took a few days of him touching the bell and me quickly opening the door and lots of treats and praise of course. He didn't need any teaching on the ringing to get back in, what a clever boy!! Pippa was right he does have a brain - yippee!!!! Not much I know but it's something...
Re: Ting-a-Ling Love it! ;D. Does it make you feel a bit like Charlie's butler? Maybe you could get a top hat and tails.
Re: Ting-a-Ling It shows that he is capable of thinking and of consequences of actions Helen , well done Charlie
Re: Ting-a-Ling Ok, Pippa, I'm going to rise to the challenge and explore the limits of Lady's intelligence. What kind of bell is it, Helen?
Re: Ting-a-Ling Hi David, I bought mine on Ebay for £4.99 each and they are a 1" approx. diameter bell with a loop which fits onto a dog collar. I have just looked but the ones I bought are no longer on there, but there are some for £2 ish from USA. Look under Dog Collar Bells. Otherwise not sure where you could purchase them from, you could google it. Good Luck!! Helen
Re: Ting-a-Ling You know the more I read these forums and the fabulous things these gorgeous dogs can do the more excited I get ! ringing a bell to get out and in !!1 Sensational !!!!
