Our smoke alarm in the hall goes off if you take a shower and forget to close the bathroom door afterward- so the steam doesn't come out of the bathroom. Well, the first time it happened Earnest got excited and kept running to me so I yelled "fire drill" and sent him to the back door. He caught on right away, now I let the alarm go off on purpose once a week or so, and at the first beep he's down by the back door.
He also goes if I yell "fire drill" even if the alarm's not going off.
Phyfe stays in the basement bedroom with my son, he stands at the door at the top of the steps (which is right next to where Earnest is) and barks.
I figure ALL our kids, fur and skin, should know what to do just in case.
