My dogs pee and crap with a "OUTSIDE" command. they are way to manly to respond to "go potty"
I did have one dog that, when told to shake, actually did shake his whole body. He got a lot of WTH! looks from people that were wanting him to shake his paw.

Thankfully, inspite of his mother removing his gonads too early, Falcon is "man enough" to handle "go potty". At least I didn't train "go wee-wee sweetie!" He might still be holding it.
Falcon also has a pretty reliable 'shake it!" only due to his love of shaking his flying squirell... simply took advanate of a behavior he provided naturally. Gotta' try that with another object.... hmmmm...
My friend has a pom that bugs her and jumps up and down. She tells the dog to FREEZE and this dog rolls over on it's back like playing dead and lies perfectly still!
Mine know SING and all start howling. My husband and son hate it when I get 6 of the dogs doing it at once.
The chickens go into my feed room after I feed the cats and eat their food so I tell the female rattie "Revere" and she runs out and jumps up and down on the 1/2 door and barks til all the chickens have cleared out. She loves this game.
I taught my ridgeback x rottie to fall and lay on her back when I "shot" her with my finger and a bang and taught most of my other dogs swear words, there was "go away" and they'd back slightly off and f off they'd bolt!!
I completely forgot....if I ask Callie, my Rottie, if she's a "dork dog" she'll get ahold of her leash and start leaping around in the air and shaking her leash...ah, yeah, just like a dork!
You can also ask her if shes a "tough girl" and she'll do the the same thing only no leash but she growls.
This isn't a funny training command, but I do wonder what my neighbors think.
I have a small pond that Doc & I walk around every morning and evening where he relieves himself. At some point in his upbringing (not on my watch), he developed the habit of eating poop--his and anyone else's. Whenever, I let him out, he would sniff the ground and start chomping. I didn't want to distract him from sniffing--that's what dogs do, right?
Now I have a system of bright orange flags in the yard--like builders use when marking gas lines. When Doc poops, a flag goes in that spot. Then, when it's daylight/not pouring down rain/when I have time, I can go on a poo hunt to pick it up.
Now, when I know he's going for a poop stash (denoted by the flag), I can practice the "leave it" command AND not step in it.
But sometimes there could be as many as 7-8 flags in the yard around the pond and on the way back to the house.
Drift has picked up a few "unconventional" commands working with the kids.
"Take a seat" = Sit
"What?" = Speak
"Find it" = go get a toy
"Say hello" = go and see the new people
"Boundaries!!" = quit sniffing what you are sniffing!!
