What are you going to do when she learns how to spell?
Don't laugh--my brothers' dad had a dog, Coco, who loved to go out for walks and wasn't overly concerned about whether or not she was on a leash or if anyone was with her. Over time she learned that when people said "goodbye" or "bye bye" or just "bye" that meant that soon, very soon, the front door would be opened. We all got in the habit of saying "B-Y-E" when we were ready to leave, which worked for all of six weeks or so until we discovered that she'd learned that "B-Y-E" led to the door opening, also.
