Scampi is 13 weeks and doing very well. She is in crate and expen and I take her out on a lead to go to the loo which is working really well. I want to try and teach her to let me know when she needs to go and don't know how to, or whether she is still too young. Some people have mentioned hanging a bell at the door. How does one make this work and at what age?

If you're a past member of the board, but can't recall your password any more, you don't need to set up a new account (unless you wish to). As long as you recall your old login name, you can log in with that user name then select 'forgot password' and the board will email you at your registration email, to let you reset your password.

My lot go straight to the back door now, it sort of just happened, we have a "Do you wanna go to wee wee" and a mad rush for the door is made, Busta will scratch the door and Woody will come and get me, Ozzy will just sit there, he is normally with us so if he is missing he is there.

We started with the bell almost as soon as we got Willow home - at about 9 weeks. Within a day or two, she had it figured out! (not that we didn't sitll have accidents, but she did ring the bell most of the time). We just hung the bell by the door, and then every time we took her out, either used her paw or her nose to ring the bell before opening the door. Worked like a charm!
Now we just have to listen to her ring the bell like crazy all the time when it's nice out - she doesn't need to go out, but she wants to be outside! You'd swear we own an outdoors dog, not a lap dog!
