I taught my mare to throw my hat off with her teeth in response to 'what do you think of.....(name of rival football team!). She now uses it as a cue for me to do some clicker training, which I inadvertently went along with (Becky has her work cut out trying to teach me  whistle), and she does it even when I don't wear a hat.

Hope she never meets anyone that wears a wig  Embarrassed Shocked

I taught my gelding to give a kiss, and again, he's doing it whether asked for or not, so keep on getting a faceful of slobber  blink

The worst bit is, they're the only 2 things I've taught so far...  Embarrassed

Lol - well, I taught War Cry that the whip was nothing to be scared of. Trouble is, I desensitized him to it so well that he doesn't see it as a cue. He thinks he's supposed to stand stock still while I waggle a whip at his hind end, which is EXACTLY what I taught him to do.  rolleyes I may tie a hankie on the end to change it a bit, see if he responds to that.

Not really trained as such but despooking her to carrier bags ... if we ever meet the YO coming back from shopping Saffy tries her best to get her head in the bag to search for apples/carrots/whatever  rolleyes 

She unclipped her lead rope once (I didn't teach her that!) and I couldn't find her, next thing I know she's clip clopping back across the yard with a carrier bag in her teeth (Waitrose!) containing a bag of apples  laugh  It was very funny but quite embarrassing having to explain who had stolen them ....
