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 Siegfrieda thinks that "bitte" (please) means "free petting". That's because I usually tell her bitte when she's taking too long to obey the command. For example...

Zizi! Komm nach Hause! (Zizi, come home!)
[Siegfrieda ignores me to chase the shadow of a butterfly]
Frieda, komm nach Hause. Bitte. (Frieda, come home. Please.
Prrrwwwwn? [runs in my direction]
