Cue Pet Training Bell

Clever pets like having a way to ask. This pet training bell is a small press down bell, like the one on a shop counter, that your dog or cat can learn to tap with a paw or nose when it wants dinner, a game or a treat.

It turns a guessing game into a clear signal, and teaching it is a fun trick in itself.

Why it works

• One clear sound. A single press gives a bright ring, so you always know what your pet is asking for.
• Big button on top. Easy to hit with a paw or nose, even for a small cat.
• Small footprint. About 7.5 cm across and 4 cm tall, so it fits next to a bowl or by the door.
• Metal ringer inside. A plastic dome and base with a metal ringer, per the supplier.
• Four colours. Blue, pink, red or yellow, so you can use two bells for two different requests.

How to use it

1. Put the bell on the floor and press it yourself, then give a treat right away.
2. Hold a treat just above the bell so your pet touches it while reaching. Reward every ring.
3. Once your pet rings it on purpose, only reward rings at the right moment, like before dinner.
4. Keep it in the same spot so your pet knows where to find it.

Care

Wipe with a damp cloth and dry it. Keep it out of water so the ringer stays bright.

Good to know

The bell is light, so on a smooth floor it can slide when pressed hard. A rubber mat or rug underneath helps. Very keen ringers may need a rule about when it works.

Questions

How long does it take to learn? It depends on your pet. Short daily sessions with tasty rewards help most pets get the idea.

Is it loud? It is a normal desk bell ring, clear but short.

Can cats use it? Yes. The supplier lists it for cats, and the button is small enough for a cat's paw.
