Puppy not ringing bell loud enough with bell training?

My puppy understands the concept of ringing the bell when she has to go outside; however, she's only barely touching the jingle bells with her nose and we can't hear it, even when we're a few feet away. We don't want to confuse her any more (this is a HUGE breakthrough...) And ideas?

Try larger bells. Those large bells ring loud even with a slight tap. I used small ones, but my dog was obsessed with the jingle. I heard them every time. The larger ones are loud by themselves.

mary123 		I'd say either add a few more bells on so the chime is louder, or get a bigger bell. She's doing such a good job at the moment, as you said, I wouldnt confuse her! Good luck with it - such an exciting thing! I'm bell training mine at the moment... :)

nikkic 		keep praising her when she rings the bells and of course take her out. When she rings a bit louder than usual give her extra praise. Praise her less when she rings softly. After awhile she'll get the idea, but it might take some time....
