While walking Arthur today, I noticed that he has learned a command from me that I hadn't been aware I'd taught him! Whenever I walk on ice (and we have a ton of the stuff on the sidewalks right now) I start baby-stepping and say, "careful". I'm not sure if it's the word that I use, or the physical change of my walking, but Arthur instantly slows down his walking and watches me like a hawk. After noticing this, I've started telling him, "okay" when we're on safer footing so that he can relax his walk a bit more.

Anyone else taught their dog a command unintentionally? :)
