What is a command you accidentally taught your pet? - Lemmy.World

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.

My cat twists his whole body in a very funny way when we are eating chips to ask us to give him some

I guess at some point I made a positive reinforcement without noticing and now he does it all the time

Reminds me of the classic superstition in the pigeon psychological study.
