I haven't had Alexa for long, but I haven't had it trigger off of Alexa-sounding words yet. I did do the training in the app a couple of times when I first got it, though. Have you tried doing the training yet?
It belongs to a friend, so I haven't trained it. But I will probably buy one soon, and then figure out how to use it well. I could always use a unique phrase...
