Phone Away, Leash Out
Here’s another example of a funny association made by a dog. They can learn to associate almost anything with a walk or going outside, so you have to carefully think about how you want to train them! This person unintentionally trained their dog to think that their phone’s lock sound means they’re going outside to play.
This is pretty adorable, since all dogs probably want their humans to spend less time on social media and more quality time with them. This person admitted defeat with the “lock-play” association, because their dogs are too stinkin’ cute and there’s no way to resist their excitement. They almost always let them out to play!
