Service Bell, Call Bell, Desk Bell, Big Button, Improved Version

I'm using it as a training device to teach my puppy to ring the bell to go outside!It appears to be very well made and not cheap at all.Silver metal, clear loud ring

My dog recently broke her potty bell that had a standard button. I didn't know these big button bells were and thing back then. Now when it's potty time my pup rings the bell like a pro on the first time every time. Has a louder ring that the previous bell as well. Quality bell and now we have a spare to take on our travels.

Got this for a monthly bunco group and it's worked great! Fun, good value and easy to use.

I saw a video on YouTube. A woman was teaching a dog to ring a desk bell. She puts a treat down, holds a small plastic lid over the treat. The dog tries all kinds of ways to get the treat. Dog paws the lid, human clicks to mark the behavior desired, gives dog treat. She works up to the dog tapping the bell, click, treat, happy dog who has worked her brain. I tried it with my Giant Schnauzer. She learned better than I did. Clicker training is something I hadn’t used before. My girl is a fast learner and loves to do her trick for everyone. We needed new bells because we gave the ones we had away to young friends who were excited to try their dogs tricks. One neighbor taught her cat the trick.Working in rescue I see great dogs given away due to behaviors that made the dogs problematic. Many of the popular breeds were recently working dogs. JRTs, Australian Sheepdogs, GSDs, many Terriers and all three types of Schnauzers are smart, energetic, dogs who need a challenge to keep them occupied and out of trouble. Learning tricks is a great way to give the dogs a job. I even read about two Golden Retrievers who were awful when anyone came to visit. The owners used some problem behaviors to give the dogs a way to greet guests. The dogs loved to pick pillows off the sofa and race around the house. The dogs learned, through careful training, they could greet guests by grabbing a pillow and presenting it to the guests. Sure, it sounds strange but it worked. The dogs got to be with the humans, not closed in another room away from all the fun.Anyway, the bells are adjustable with the knob on the top. If your house has hardwood, laminate or tile floors (things slide) put some rubber pads on the bottom frame of the bell. If it slides when tapped with a paw you may have a hockey player on your hands when you wanted a bell ringer.I’m sure this bell is great at being a desk bell. And there are two of them. A good deal. Two people could sit on opposite sides of a large room and practice Morse code. Just a thought.

Nice and loud and clear, ordered for my restaurant because I couldn’t hear the bell they were using but I could hear this bell

I bought one of these service bells just for fun. But I wanted it to look good and work well, and this one does.

It works and is loud enough to hear from another room. It’s cost effective and easy to use. It’s a muted color. I’m trying to train my pug to sing it when she needs to go out, the part where her paw touches it isn’t too small to get stuck in her crevices so that is also nice— others I’d considered were plastic and ratings were saying they’d break. I feel confident that if any chance stands to work in training her on this, it’s with this bell.

This is a great, loud bell that pierces through noise. We bought it to replace another that we have used for years in our home to signal that meals are ready. Our previous bell, which was similar in design, worked well. This one though is even better! It cuts through a blaring TV on the second floor, and through music blasting in my daughter's bathroom and it's loud enough that the hard of hearing in the extended family pay attention. Just one ding of the bell is usually enough to bring them to the table, but if not, a second ding will certainly do the trick. Hitting the large striker with your palm is very satisfying and the pitch and resonance of the bell is perfect to cut through noise, and hangs in the air. This bell would be perfect for commanding attention in a store, restaurant or home and I highly recommend it.

As described, a well-made bell. I thought however it might have been bigger.

Bell is just OK, does not have any features claimed by the pictures.1.It does not have that any bigger pressing button2.It does not have any new improved clapperNormal calling bell from China.

I usually find shopping for basic hardware to be a bit of a toll, but these bells really struck a chord with me. I’m giving them five stars because they arrived with amazing chime-ing, and frankly, I’m alarmed by how much I enjoy using them. It’s nice to finally find something that isn't a total "ding-er."The "Nice" Pros (A Sound Investment)Top-Tier Resonance: The sound is clear enough to wake the dead, or at least the teenager in the basement. It’s a very "appealing" noise that really rings true in a quiet room.Double the Fun: Since it’s a 2-pack, I have one for the kitchen and one for my desk. It’s a real "bell-and-whistle" situation without the unnecessary whistles.The "Big Button" Energy: You don't have to be a brain surgeon to operate this. The button is so large even I can't miss it, which is great because I’m often not quite "all there" before my morning coffee.The "Real Talk" Cons (The Only Dissonance)Power Trip Potential: I’ve noticed a slight change in my personality. I’ve become a bit of a "belle" of the ball, expecting service the moment I tap the button. My family, however, has not yet answered the call.Pavlovian Problems: I’ve used it so much that my dog now sits for a treat every time I get a notification on my phone. It’s a bit of a "clapper" trap I’ve set for myself.Improved Version?: They claim it’s an "improved" version, which makes me wonder what the old one was—a silent hunk of iron? Regardless, this one really "peals" back the layers of what a bell can be.Final Verdict: For Whom the Bell Tolls (It’s You)If you’re looking to add a little "ding" to your dignity, this is the purchase for you. It’s sturdy, loud, and frankly, it’s the most "sound" advice I can give you today. Don't let this opportunity pass you by—toll-y up and add it to your cart.Bottom Line: A bell-ievable quality at a price that won't leave you feeling rung out.
