I tried the bell thing when she was a puppy(SHe didn't catch on ). She has no medical problems or anything, it is due to laziness or the cold and that is it. I guess if I wanted to go out with her and make sure she went, perhaps that would change the situation, but I have the luxury of being able to poop inside(LOL)so /I don't wanna go out either... perhaps that is the wrong attitude to have but she is full grown and should be able to go herself( In my own opinion).
