Teach your dog how to use the doorbell with this innovative gadget

If you've ever repainted your door, sanded out gouges in wood, fixed a screen or spent time trying to repair the damage your insistent dog inflicted while trying to get your attention and get back in the house…there is a solution.

We all love our dogs. But between the scratching at the door and the incessant barking…well, it's time to teach your furry pal some new life skills. Like how to get back inside like a civilized human — by ringing the doorbell like anybody else.

The Pebble Smart Doggie Doorbell is an ingenious system that actually trains your dog to ring your doorbell when they want to come inside.

With no tools or wiring required, just mount this wireless doorbell with its large yellow push plate in just the right place so your dog can reach it. When your pooch decides they want to come in, they push the plate, which triggers your door chime receiver inside. 

Many dogs can start to pick up how to use the Doggie Doorbell in a matter of minutes, but if your canine is a little…stubborn or needs more encouragement, there's a built-in treat holder behind the plate. It will drop the treat when your dog successfully uses the bell, helping reinforce the behavior and getting your dog on board with the new procedure quickly.

Featured on CBS' The Henry Ford Innovation Nation, this bell is an utterly simple, yet utterly effective way to not only protect your door and siding from dog scratches, but create a new fun opportunity to interact with your pet. 

You can even install a Doggie Doorbell both inside and outside your home, so they'll always be able to communicate their needs in a whole new way.

Regularly $30, the Doggie Doorbell is on sale now at $4 off, only $25.99. Even if it's only to give your friends a laugh at your doorbell-ringing dog, it's worth it.
