Potty Training pepper

For my most recent birthday , my family decided to get me a potty training bell for pepper.The potty training bell hangs from our door knob just high enough so pepper can reach it.When I first got the bell, pepper looked at it kind of funny and had no clue what it was.Every time she had to go outside to go to use the bathroom,we would ring the bell and say "Potty".Not too long later,she got the idea that she had to ring the bell every time she had to go outside.Eventually every time she wanted to go out, she would ring the bell again and again until someone would come and take her out.Sometimes she will angrily ring the bell.That's when we know she REALLY has to go!Another potty training trick we use, is rewarding her with a small bite sized milk bone treat after she poops outside.When she stares at the treat jar then rings the bell, we know she has to go.
