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.
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.
“Car” When we are walking in our neighborhood (there are no sidewalks) I’ll say “car” and he’ll move into the grass area when a vehicle approaches.
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!
I taught my pet rock to “stay” in 1988.
It hasn’t moved since.
