We've had a puppy for 4 weeks. We've been potty training and he does fine as long as we are in the room or keep a close eye on him. He sits by the door when he needs to go. Two problems..how can we get him to notify us when we're not in the room? and how do we get him to understand how to notify us when we are upstairs?

I tried bells on the door briefly, but he was scared of them and I didn't want to discourage his going to the door. Any suggestions would be appreciated

Let me clarify. The puppy is supervised all of the time except for when he runs out of the room ahead of me for a brief second. When the puppy is upstairs, he is upstairs with us. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for a way that he could notify us that he needs to go out.
