I heard you could train your dog to tell you when they need out by putting a bell on the door. I didn’t have a bell, but did have empty beer can and random nuts and bolts.
She learned to knock over my beer if she wants out.
You can train your dog to do way more than just ring when he wants out. I have a cat that I trained, he now has 12 buttons in the same location, with concepts like "later" and "now", "yes" and "no" etc. The fact that I sometimes need to argue with my own cat that indeed he was fed already and treats are not an option is ridiculous to a lot of people. The cat gets incredibly excited once I get new buttons (but they're expensive, so I don't do that often). Some time ago a friend was teaching their maltese puppy to use buttons for a walk. I spent half an hour with it, got it to push buttons, got it to recognize that button = treat, later got it to recognize different buttons do different things. Training a dog is easy mode once you've trained a cat lol
