Heather and I took a trip to our favorite pet shop, the Barkery, on Saturday. It's a locally owned business and we love patronizing small businesses. While there perusing all the dog products, we saw a display of Poochie Bells.
Poochie Bells are a great communication tool between pet owner and pet. Several years ago, while visiting a friend's home, we first noticed bells being used. It's a simple idea. When the dog needs to go outside to take care of his "business," they nudge the bells with their nose. As many of you know, sometimes it's difficult to know when a dog needs to go out and this tool provides a simple way to make this need known. We plan to use these with Riley next month.
Made in the USA
After reading the information that came with Poochie Bells, I appreciated the fact that it is a product made in the USA. It's nice to buy something locally made. The quality of the product seems wonderful and their website indicates that they are made from heavy quality metal and are a much higher quality than craft bells you might see in stores.
Easy to Hang and Adjust
Poochie Bells are designed to hang over any door knob and are specifically designed for any breed to be able to reach them. If you don't want to hang them on the door knob for whatever reason, they can easily be placed on a hanger beside the door.
Instructions Included
Poochie Bells come with complete instructions on how to train your dog to use the bells. Their website contains training information as well. The training method is pretty simple and requires only consistent behavior from the owner to see results.
Are you ready to purchase Poochie Bells for your dog? You can find a listing of Signature Stores on their website. If you've used Poochie Bells, I'd love to hear from you! Share your thoughts and insights with the rest of us! I plan to do a review of this product again in a few months to let you know how Riley is adjusting to this concept. Thanks for reading!
