I have scoured the community and have yet to see this idea discussed. We have a small dog (15 lbs) who we have trained to go to the back door when she wants to do her business. Since we have a busy household, and there were times she sat there for 10 minutes or more before anyone noticed, I put a …

All the ideas sound good. :dog: Assuming your dog is not deaf, she should learn that sitting on the mat triggers the sound announcement, which in turn causes you to come in. So I think you’ll find she will learn to be precise if it gets her what she wants. :wink:

[image] MLUCK: Very curious to get reactions and ideas from the community on this. As JDRoberts says your method is sound. My daughter did this using old fashioned method, trained the dog to use a string of bells hanging from the door knob. That removes the human factor. But saying that try t…

You could put a leak sensor on wall (sensor contacts pointing out) and teach the dog to lick it when it wants to go out. Leak sensors have two little contacts that sense when water, or a wet tongue, make a connection between the two contacts. You can test with a wet finger. Dry fingers won’t work. T…

While we’re at it, we did have a discussion last fall about which buttons are easiest for dogs to push. My own dog prefers the logitech pop buttons, which are big and rubbery. :dog: [image] FAQ: Button for Paws? Wiki Hi, I’m looking for a button to train dog to press to…

Thanks guys for the feedback and ideas. Best part about ST is the community, I swear. Think I’m gonna go with the double motion sensor option. It requires the least dog training, and I can use it to trigger actions for humans and pets separately. Has anyone successfully used some material like t…

[image] MLUCK: Has anyone successfully used some material like tape to block off a portion of a motion sensor’s “eye”? Anything more involved than the obvious/? The obvious works: people use both tape and tubes to narrow the detection field. :wink: [image] Tricky Sensor pl…

Electrical tape works just fine, I use some white tape on one of my motion sensors and it’s hardly even noticeable.

I keep saying I am going to pretty this up a little but haven’t gotten to it yet. When I walk from my office (from where the pic is taken, into the bathroom, my hall light never turns on. But when I cross the door jam plane, it does. My suggestion is to play with the positioning of both the senso…
