I nearly fell out of my chair! I didn't think Rider would be able to "get" bell training because he couldn't hear the bell. But lo and behold, today I'm sitting at the table, drinking my coffee. The lawn guy was next door (the dogs love Randy) doing my neighbor's yard and he had his little weenie dog with him. Rider was at the door looking out and he turned around, and RANG THE BELL! I was stunned! He looked at me and I immediately gave him the "thumbs up" signal for "good boy" and opened the door. Out he ran to meet the little weenie dog and run the fence with it.
I know he's watched Maggie & Susie ring the bell to go out or come in, as I've watched him watching them do it, but never suspected he would make the association on his own. What an incredible boy!
And see, I was dumb to think my boy wouldn't get bell training because he is deaf. Goes to show, there are no dumb dogs; only dumb owners! :o :o
