yes. we trained a dog to ring a bell to go out. It started with me taking it out, waiting for her to start going and then I'd ring the bell and say "good girl". Then I started ringing the bell at the door right before I let her out. Then I attached it to the wall by the door. She eventually associated the bell with "outside" instead of going to the bathroom. She passed away, now we just try to pay close attention. The dogs "tell" us when they need to go if we listen.
