This doesn't really go in the accidentally teaching your dog something thread. This is more the moron owner doesn't think before training category.
I taught one of the dogs "Gimme kiss." This involves standing on hind legs and giving me a tiny little face-lick and then sitting.
The problem? You know how some dogs will persist, despite the repeated lack of success, in offering their whole repertoire without command in hope of a reward? "Sit, down, stand, place" in rapid succession just because there is a smell of marker rewards in the air ....
I could have done without "Gimme kiss" in that routine.

Oh heck yeah.
Oh, I feel your pain Connie... Oscar knows "kiss" too - he doesn't offer it if your face isn't directly in front of him (he won't jump up), but if you kneel down and are maybe thinking about asking him for a "paw" or something, and you wait a second too long with the command... you get a "kiss". I don't mind the equivalent of a doggie "peck on the cheek", but Oscar's version of a kiss is sort of a punch in the face with his nose... and maybe a little tongue at the end, to wipe off the blood that's probably dripping from one nostril. It's funny, at the same time that it's not, really.

Edit reason: typo
We tried to teach Yote to say I love you, very bad idea, I also at one point tried to mark the sound he makes that sounds like Mama, but also a very bad idea.
He didn't differentiate so would just bark at the top of his lungs once we marked any sort of noise.
I am just so glad to see that some of you folks who I look up to as the grand poobahs of dog owners, also at time, yes, I gotta say it again - step on their twinkies. Even the gals.
