Hi
11 month old cocker spaniel >was always a bit slow / lazy on the toilet training front but got it in the end. Will now hold on for a bit before going outside. Does recognise the phrase for toileting though (" toilet time") which can be useful if we want to prompt him for a wee before , say, a long car journey
Problem is he still doesn't show any signs of asking to go out. We always put him out every so often to do the deed. Sometimes he does quite a long wee so must have wanted to go but still doesn't ask
So we moved onto the bells. He's food motivated so yes now will happily jump at the door on the way out to ring the bells get a treat then go into the garden. But hes still not figured out he can use the bells to ASK to go out...… how do I do this
So yesterday, for the first time in ages, he weed inside. Totally out fault as we had forgotten to put him out regularly for once. But the frustration was that we (DH and I) were both right besides him in the kitchen 2 meters from the door and he still hadn't gone near it or of course the bells!
So how can I tweak this so he actually uses the bells to ask! He always paws at the door to come back in

Will my dog ever go out to wee?
