What is a command you accidentally taught your pet?
What is a command you accidentally taught your pet?
My goldendoodle puppy doesn't ever want to come back inside. I told my beagle "go get your sister" as I tried rounding up the puppy. Now when I say "go get your sister" the beagle runs to the puppy and baits her into chasing him into the house.

It wasn't a command, but I distinctively remember the first time my cat growled at me for picking him up and I set him down immediately. Now it's his way of telling me to let him down whenever. So I guess he taught me the command instead!
It's nice to know when your pets are unhappy - they deserve respect too. However, my stupid dog growls when he's unhappy and being picked up but also when he's very happy being dried after a wet walk. So. Yeah. Not super helpful
Yes! He's really built up his confidence saying no. He'll even gently kick my hand off if he doesn't want to be picked up when he's laying down. I think it really builds up trust as well. He may be a little grumpy but he's wonderful.
