Training Bug is a goal set for 2013. I have this crazy idea, now that I’ve potty
trained the pup. Our pup runs fast past
the back door, and over to you if you’re sitting in the lodge to let you know
she wants out of the house to do her business.
But what if you’re not sitting in the lodge; and you’re somewhere else
in the house? My thought; hang a bell
attached to a rope on the back door. When the pup has to go outside, she rings
the bell.
The last time I went to the pet store to pickup dog
food, I wandered into the training section and found exactly what I was looking
for. A cord with a bell to attached to
the door knob; then I looked at the price and thought, that’s crazy:
$29.00. No Way!!!! I refused to pay $29.00 for a cord attached
to a bell. I went to the local craft
store and they were out of bells. So I wandered
into a sporting goods store and they had a bell, they called it a bear bell,
for $3.00. I went ahead and snatched it
up, took the bag off the bell (bag used to silence the bell). Then I stole borrowed some paracord from
Bulldog Man. Cut it into three pieces,
braided it, and fed the bell loop through the paracord and tied a knot at the
very top. All I needed to do then was
just hook the cord over the door knob and viola’……..I have a training bell for
my pup, Bug. :-)
Bear Bell On My Dusty Table, lol |
YUM! Sounds delish, I will have to check that out. :-)
ReplyDelete1st Man,
DeleteIt was totally delish!!! My husband took all of the left overs to work today and didn't save me any :-(
What a great idea for a training tool and a bargain when you make it.
ReplyDeleteGail,
DeleteIt is a great idea, I'm hoping the little one understands to ring the bell. Every time I go to open the door, I wait for Bug to get close enough. Then I wiggle the bell close to her nose, and say let's go out. She actually went up to the bell this afternoon and bumped it. She's a fast learner. Now I need to get the older one to follow in her foot steps, lol....
Yes, it's a bargin to make your own training tools when ever possible.
We think our kitty door bell (pretty much like yours) is the best! Can't blame you for not wanting to pay that price!
ReplyDeleteHow cute, you have a bell for kitty?
DeleteI refuse to pay those type prices, especially when you can make the item for substantially less.
I actually bookmarked this post for my next rib rage.
ReplyDeleteOur furchild came from a puppy mill. He had never touched the ground and was so weak. But he wanted to please us SO badly that he never peed on the floor and became trained immediately due to HIS desire to "do right" I suppose. They grab your heart and keep holding on.
I really loved this recipe with beef ribs, you could use it with pork too I guess.
DeleteI love furchildren :=)!!!!!
Oh yes they grab your heart and don't let go.
good job on the bell!!
ReplyDeletei hate paying an arm and a leg for something simple that is marketed as something special!
you can buy a lot of ribs for $23!!! ;-)
cheers!
