Ever teach your dog something that wasn't such a great idea?

The whole, Go Potty and Get a Cookie thing . . .

Tallulah now tells me she needs to go out and insists I go with her and SEE her pee -- or fake pee :rolleyes:

She figured out pretty quickly that the fake pee doesn't work in her emergency bathroom tray (or it's raining/just rained and I can't get my little twat wet or I'll D-I-E! tray, which is an emergency in the Tallulahverse) after I laughed at her when she tried it and pointed out the paper wasn't wet.

I taught Cookie a leg weave. It's her favorite trick.

She is now wearing a cone.

Yeah...

Not quite me training the dogs, but because I did a lot of my training in the living room near the bird cage, my African Grey learned he could call the dogs over, tell them to sit, and then throw food at them. I made the mistake of laughing the first time. You would be amazed at how much super expensive bird pellets he can shovel out of his cage at the dogs.
^ That's hilarious. :rofl1:

Also :lol-sign: Ow!

Speak and shake are evil around here, too. Actually, pretty much anything I teach Sienna gets taken to an extreme for a while and becomes her new FAVORITEST TRICK EVER!!1! to be done at inopportune times. For example, when we've been working on retrieves, when I try to put her collar on over her head, she grabs it in her mouth. I have to tell her "put it ON your face, not IN your face LOL. :rolleyes:

I wish I had never encouraged Victor's tree climbing. I know when I read about a lab falling off of a ladder and breaking her back, that I stopped letting Mary climb the ladder at the play park. Sometimes she would go a little too high..anyway it cost Victor quite a bit of fun, that broken toe may have healed, but it left soreness and sharp pain at certain turns.
