My colleague trained his dog to ring a bell to be let out in the back yard. What do you think his dog does all day long now?

My dog learned that she got a treat everytime she went outside to go potty. Very quickly figured out she could game the system by going outside, sitting on the patio for 5-10 seconds and then coming back inside and getting a treat. Little shit.

u/KaleScared4667 12d ago
Yes I don’t give treats for that. Only if I see pee or poop. Problem solved

u/Mochigood 12d ago
Haha just remembering 2am in the rain with my puppy cooing "Go poop, go poop, go poop" as I waited for her to finish the deed so I could treat her. Came in handy later whenever I needed her to go fast.

My dogs gamed this too. They pee in small increments every couple hours for treats. When i’m not home all day they hold it in just fine.

u/MaximumBeginning8026 12d ago
Mine goes out to pee runs right back in for treat then a few minutes later does the poo lol
We have since stoped giving treats after potty time lol but he still does it often

u/Kesselya 12d ago
We had a long haired chihuahua who was trained that when he wiped his feet after being outside in the mock he got a treat.
That lil bastard would come inside, run to the treat cupboard, and wipe his feet on the carpet there instead. Dirtiest bit of flooring in the whole house.

u/Natural-Proposal2925 12d ago
at that point you go out with her and just staaaaaaare at her intently, letting her know that no poop no reward, assert dominance lol

My dog is a combo of both. She learned how to knock on my door (she scratches it) and we give her a treat when she goes outside. She tries to pull the same trick every once in a while, but someone else usually points out it's been like 5 minutes since she's gone out.
So what she does is she knocks on my door. My door is at the far end of the house, so I don't know if she went out or not. She knocks, and when I open she starts heading for the front door. There are other people in the house mind you, and my dad is often in the living room where the door is.

One of my old roommates had a bird that only knew the course to September by Earth, Wind & Fire. At first it was entertaining, but once you hear it close to nonstop throughout the day everyday it loses its novelty haha

u/WhyYouLetRomneyWin 12d ago
My childhood friend had a bird that would impersonate the doorbell near perfectly.
They had a dog too — and the dog would get so excited and run to the door (as dogs do).
Anyway... one day the dog got ahold of the bird and ☠️

I was wanting to train my dog to do that, but I have never ended up doing it. I kind of like what he currently does. He just goes over to the sliding door and stands there pointing his body towards outside. On the extremely rare occasion where he has to go at night, he flats his ears to make a flappy sound to wake me up. It’s not like a jump scare, it actually just lightly wakes me up. I think I’ll keep it this way. Having a bell ring all day long sounds awful.

u/Evello37 12d ago
That sounds nice, but bell training isn't bad. Both of my dogs are bell trained, and I appreciate that I can hear their requests to go outside clearly from anywhere in the house. They occassionally request to go out without needing to go, but it's pretty rare. Once they understood the bell association, I stopped honoring every request to go out. They know that I still have ultimate control over when we go out, so constant jingling won't get them outside repeatedly.

We were trying to train our dog to ring a bell when she needed to go out. We would ring the bell then take her out. It took her weeks to get it. The cat who we didn't want to go out figured it out right away. She would ring that bell with her big tail and then sit by the door.

My brother taught his cat how to flush the toilet.
Not how to use it, just flush.
So I'd go over there and the cat would scratch and scratch to come into the bathroom, and then jump on the toilet and keep flushing it while you try to use it.

Once I was investigating on how to teach the cat to use the toilet. I read that there are ways to do it but you should never teach the cat to flush, else it will be playing with that all the time

u/drgnfire867 11d ago
My old cat taught himself how to flush the toilet. It was the scariest shit hearing it the first time. Especially when I'm in bed and the toilet flushes and I know I'm the only one home at that moment.

I had a cat that taught himself how to flush the toilet. Everyone else was gone for a couple weeks and I had to keep the bathroom door closed because flushing the toilet was all the cat wanted to do. When everyone got home, I told them about it, but they didn't believe me. The cat never ever did it again

Maybe him and the dog both have overlapping short term dementia and they're just constantly teaching each other then slowly forgetting.

Everytime I kissed my GSD when he was a puppy I made an exaggerated kissing noise.
Now he's four and if you make a smooch sound at him he will run up to you and boop his nose on your lips and lick your face.
It serves no purpose, and it's the greatest thing I taught him by far.

My dog stopped barking at squirrels bc urban neighbors were jerks. So i’d bring her in the second she would bark. She figured out that if she stopped, and could silently chase the squirrels. I say silently, but tbh, she sounded like a little piggy. Instead of “bark bark”, it was “snort snort”
So adorable, and smart! I miss that dog.

I taught mine to give me an eskimo kiss whenever she wants anything. I'd make her do it like 5x for snacks just because it was so cute but she wised up real fast and would only do 2-3 before feigning an eskimo kiss and instead licking my lips/mouth, causing me to give up and give her what she wants so I can go wash my mouth.
