Sometimes he'll ring it for attention when we're eating dinner and he wants to eat (some more) too, but we just ignore him. It took 3 days to teach. Guinness picked it up immediately (like on the day we brought him home from his foster home). But he rings it even to go outside to explore. I am going to take advantage of the winter to teach him it's only for potty. Although Im sure he knows that and is taking full frenchie advantage.

Not when she needs to pee, but when she wants to go out. Sometimes she needs to pee, sometimes she needs to cool off (they are woolly right now), sometimes she just wants to spy on the neighbors....

I fear that Morgan would ring the bells every time she thinks she needs to go look at that rabbit under the bayberry bush.<br /><br />We used to laugh about the pack dynamics at our house. Hawk was the one who'd always bark and be insistant about getting us to let him out. When Treat wanted to go out, she'd go over to him and give him a look, and he'd get up and go to my husband and do his "time to go out" routine. The other hounds all looked to him for the same thing. Now that he's gone, Morgan seems to have taken over the job.houndstoothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02159272473651561647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1735100941573293276.post-6878215487462486132010-12-22T23:38:25.949-05:002010-12-22T23:38:25.949-05:00Of course...girls rule, boys drool!
