How Does Your Trained Dog Let You Know When It Needs To Go To The Bathroom Outside?

1. Guise-xo Says

   Stands by the door and whines, Hits it with her paw, and if I don’t let her out, she’ll come find me, whine, and try to lead me away

2. Thánatos Says

   I have a bell by both doors that he’ll nose-bump to say that he wants outside. How I can tell he has to bathroom versus play is I’ll say “sit” after he hits the bell; if he comes up to me and sits he wants to play – if he sits at the door he has to bathroom.
   At night he has learned to lick my arm to wake me up if he needs to go out. If I happen to ignore him at night (so tired!) he’ll be a jerk and start “rolling over” on me and play-nipping by my face. Or, if he wants to be cute about it, he’ll rest his head on the edge of my bed and stare at me until I open my eyes, then bump noses with me.

   It is not always necessary for a dog to let you know when it has to go outside. A well housebroken dog will wait until you put it out. You can teach your dog to ring a bell, but if you have trained your dog to not potty in the house, your dog will wait until you let it out.

   Look at me. Walk to the door. Look at the door. Walk back to me. Dance around a bit. Make eye contact. Oh, she’s looking! Run back to the door. Look at the door. Whine a bit. Run back to me. Oh yay! She got up and is letting me out!
   Or get “Poochie Bells”, then it goes like this: Go to the door, ring the door bell. Wait. Door opens. Yay!

   The one who has a dog door goes out by himself. The big fella (no point having a dog door that big) simply stands patiently at the back door. If it’s night-time he comes into the bedroom and whines, if that doesn’t wake someone up he barks!

   My maltese just comes and stares at me for the longest time. If I ignore her, she whines and makes those little gruffy noises.
   Then if I go downstairs with her, she bolts to the door and sits in front of it.

   My dog will either whimper or if he is near a door he will scratch at it to let me know he has to go but if he does neither he will start sniffing that usually means he has to go out

    My dogs just go in and out of their doggy door day and night so no need to let me know when or why!
