[nagdu] Re-Teaching a Dog to Alert for Off Schedule Break

[Nicole B. Torcolini at Home]

I, too, am interested in this. I have some bells. If I ask Lexia, "Do you 
need to go potty?", she will wing the bells, but she will not ring them on 
her own. I particularly want to teach her this because I would much rather 
her ring the bells and get my attention that way than get my attention by 
vomiting, which is what usually happens if she needs to do a number 2 really 
bad.
