What is a command you accidentally taught your pet?

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.

Not a command perse, but my dog has learned that "hey Google, what's the temperature outside" usually means a walk is coming and gets excited.

My dog reacts very poorly to "Okay, Google". I'm not sure if it's because of the response from a person that he can't see, or that in the past I've yelled at the phone to stop when it won't stop listing. But every time I say "Okay, Google" now he gets up and goes into his crate. He does the same when I talk into my Google TV remote too, so I assume it's the response from the Google Assistant that he finds so troublesome.

My cockatiels have learned that ā€œHey Google, broadcast itā€™s dinner timeā€ means itā€™s time to fly to the table and ambush the food as itā€™s delivered.
