Product Description

 Thrilled with our Tell Bell - we love it!!! September 26, 2008

The Tell Bell has worked extremely well for us as we have used it for almost a year now. We have been so exceedingly thrilled with our Tell Bell that we have purchased numerous Tell Bells for friends! I've been truly impressed with the quality and innovative design specifically made for dogs, which makes it comfortable to ring. A cheap bell from the store was not designed for a dog's paw and seems like it would annoy their paw when they stepped on it. Bells that hang on the door are not as effective as they scratch and ruin the door and would make noise when you open it. Additionally, we found that watching the instructional DVD as a family helped us all to get on the same page with her training, and the booklet was helpful to refer to and review the training details.
Everyone who has visited our house has been so amazed that our dog rings the Tell Bell to go potty. I've even had a repairman who noticed the paw on the bell and couldn't believe that she would ring it to go outside, and he was so impressed when she actually did it! Initially, we started another potty training method, and then switched to the Tell Bell, so it did take our dog a little longer to figure it out. We just kept being consistent knowing that it would work. It took us at least 6 weeks or more; however, once she got it, she got it. Our entire family was filled with such joy when she finally figured it out! That joy remains with us every day as it continues to be so much fun to hear her ring the bell to go outside. It always brings a smile to our faces.
We have 2 Tell Bells, one at the garage door, and the other at the back door. We've successfully trained our dog to ring the bell at the garage door when she has to go potty, and the other bell at back door when she wants to go outside and play. It's convenient that each Tell Bell comes with 2 bells. Right after she learned to ring the bell, all of my kids walked out of the garage door to go play, and she whacked at the bell over and over again because she wanted to go outside to play with them. It was too funny! Through the consistent training that they teach on the DVD, she eventually learned how to use the bells properly. Our Tell Bells have also visited several people's houses and she has used them successfully, even in strange homes.
The Tell Bell works well! We give the Tell Bell the highest recommendation possible. It's a quality product with a remarkably effective training technique that has worked well for us, as well as the numerous people we have given it to as a gift.
Love It! August 28, 2008

The Tell Bell is awesome. My dog started ringing the Tell Bell on her own within two weeks. I do work from home so this helped, plus my kids and husband were faithful in putting her paw on it and ringing it every time we thought she should go out. It took almost 3 more weeks more before she was fully trained and was ringing it every time she needed to go out. It works great and I loved the manual and DVD. It was real clear on how to train a dog that my kids were on board and could follow the steps. Also, it was great to receive two Tell Bells in a box. We keep the extra one in a traveling bag for our dog. In fact, I need to get another one for our basement door, since my kids are down there a great deal. Having a Tell Bell trained dog makes having a dog so much easier! You don't have to guess when you're busy working and the kids never have to wonder when the dog needs to go outside. This is an awesome product and our entire family loves it! We have told so many people about it, and our friends think it is so cool that our dog rings a bell to communicate with us when she needs to go outside to use the restroom.
It works, it's fun and it makes us laugh May 4, 2008

This is a great, great product! It's not only a fast, easy and fun way to house-break a dog, it's the ultimate dog trick! Whenever people see my dog ringing the bell they are amazed!
Training my dog was easy. Tell Bell comes with a training manual and DVD. The DVD is great because the family can watch the DVD together, and then share in the responsibility of training the dog. The kids also like helping... because it feels like they're teaching the dog a cute trick! (Which they are.)
It also makes traveling with your dog easy -- just take the bell with you! Once your dog is trained -- it's trained everywhere! Also makes it easy to find a dog-sitter. The dog-sitter doesn't need to know your dog's "signals" -- all they have to do is open the door when the dog rings the bell.
Fantastic product. I recommend it to everyone who has a dog. Gets rid of the guessing game as to when your dog's gotta go.
Tell Bell Relatives visiting September 7, 2008
Darline Clemens (Defiance, OH)
We had relatives coming for a visit and their dog was coming with them. I asked if the dog was potty trained. She said yes and the dog uses a specially designed doorbell that sits by the door called Tell Bell. I have very nice doors that I did not want scratched and new carpet so I was not thrilled, but knew that the relatives were exceptionally clean people and would never let a dog stay in the house that was not "potty trained".
When the family put the Tell Bell by the door, I found it adorable! And sure enough, the dog hit the bell and went outside. No howling, no scratching!
Adorable! In fact, we offered to watch their dog while they visited elsewhere. We've bought a Tell Bell ourselves and it always makes our guests smile every time the Tell Bell rings.
We are told the people made the Tell Bell to stop sooooo many dogs from going into shelters. Many dogs go into shelters because the owners can not get the dogs potty trained. The people who made Tell Bell hope the Tell Bell would help keep the dogs out of the shelters. If you don't have a Tell Bell trained dog, then get it Tell Bell trained. You will never have a problem in finding someone to watch your dog. I wish everyone would do this so there would be less dogs at animal shelters. What a great fun way to love your dog even more.
I love this product in so many ways. How do I count the ways? This product is excellent in that you get two for the price of one, so one of the bells can travel or just stay at the sitters house, NO BATTERIES required! DVD gives instructions whereas many of the other products do not, no scratching ever on my doors, no barking or howling,
It's up to the dog January 11, 2009

I bought this to use with my dog. I watched the DVD and followed the training directions but after about 2 weeks (the extent of my Christmas vacation), nothing had changed. I left the bell by the door and gave up. About 4-5 months later, my dog walked over to the bell and rang it. I jumped up, put her leash on her and went outside. Just like Helen Keller in "The Miracle Worker" she got the connection. Now she rings the bell when she needs to go out. Don't give up. It's up to your dog!
