[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 185320, member: 3419"] I second the doorbell idea. Would it freak her out just to hear it? Or do you mean that it would be unexpected under the mat? You can teach her to ring a bell much more easily than you can teach her to bark. I had borzoi that rarely barked and the breeder suggested I tie a cow bell to the door and ea time we went out, I'd tap their noses on it and say, "Good out!" Every time we went out and they did their biz, I'd give them a treat, which I had in my pocket. Sometimes they rang to bell to play with-a squirrel they saw out the window (or in the case of a borzoi, kill it) but it was well worth not having them go on the floor. It took about a mo. and they're not the fastest learners (most hounds don't speak English so to speak:) ) ... collies and goldens and poodles are way faster. Our collies learned within a wk. [/QUOTE]
