Ummm...not much. Maggie and Reecie are my parent's dogs, so I don't work with them a lot.

Reecie doesn't know anything. She used to know sit and shake, but not anymore. She has a bit of a mental problem, we think.

Maggie knows:
Sit
Shake
Down
Rollover
Leave it
C'mon (when she stops while we're walking and I'm ready to keep going)
Leave the cat alone
Go get your ball

That's it.

Okay I'll TRY.... Some of these are only Mia (the ball related ones).

Sit
Down
Stand
Up
Jump (hop in the air)
Roll Over
Bang Bang
Crawl
Dance (spin + jump)
Spin (spin right)
Left (spin left)
Go around
Take a bow
Wait
Leave it
Stay
Free
Easy (slow down)
Let's go (go fast)
Look at Me
Walk (walk on back legs)
Bite (hold something in their mouth for Summer, tug for Mia)
Touch (touch with feet)
Nose (touch with nose)
Go to your bed (their bed)
Get on the bed (my bed)
Up
Get down
Get out of here (leave the room, but Summer has decided it means 'go hide')
Find it
Get your ____
Bring it here
Mark it (go stand on something)
Target (almost the same but it's more of an agility thing)
Get in the back (go to the back seat of the car)
Okay (permission to eat something)
Heel
Drop it
Get back (hop backwards)
back (walk backwards)
Sillies (I couldn't think of a good word- it's a figure 8 through my legs)
Give me five
Ten (both paws on my hand)
Shake
Wave
Go over there/here/etc
Climb (get on something)
Get in the car
Go home
Get inside
Go kennel
Go potty (yep, it's on command for Summer lol She'll fake it though if she doesn't really need to go)
Let me pick you up (Mia, it means STOP moving so I can grab you lol)
Get up (as in you're about to be booted off of me)
Come (lol I realized I forgot that one)

Ready, set, go is our fetch sequence. And they recognize a LOT of phrases like "There's a squirrel over there" They'll run to the tree I point to. they also recognize things like 'go to the store', 'go get food', 'go night night', words like 'duck', 'bird', 'butterfly', 'squirrel', etc.

Uhhh.... I know there are more. Not counting things like 'tunnel' or 'walk it', etc from agility. If you count those, climb, walk it, tunnel, weave, teeter, jump, tire, etc etc. Pretty basic agility.

I'm sure I'm forgetting some, but those are all the ones used most often that I can think of. I'm sure they've picked up on different phrases as well that I didn't mention too.

Why is it that when you come back and look at what you've written, you remember something else? haha

Know? or obey?

LOL they KNOW a few but they rarely obey them lol :p
^^^ This^^^

Suzie knows many, but she will only do it if she feels like it, or is hungry, or if there is nothing better to do.

These are the ones I can get her to do most reliably

Sit
Down
Paw
Out (just out of my way, walk away, the general idea)
Okay (She can eat what I dropped, or stop sitting, whatever)
Come on ( Taking too long to sniff something. Haha, she'll start inching her way forwards, keeping her nose as close to the spot as she can!)
Go get the cat (Find our cat who is often hiding outside
Stay
Touch (my hand)

Sam knows a lot. But only sit and down are absolutely solid :/ All the others he chooses if he wants to listen or not because we haven't worked with them enough.
So he knows:
Sit
Down
Off (all four paws on the ground)
Leave it
Dance (Hop around on two legs)
Come
Stay
Wait
Back (give me some space)
Go away (Get out of the room)
Heel
Watch me
Bang (play dead)
....I have a LOT of work to do, still. Especially if we want to be ready for agility in late spring.

Oh geez, this is going to either make Frodo look like a tard, or me like a bad trainer:

-Sit
-Down
-Stay
-Watch
-Bump (hand target)
-Bad dog! (down with head on ground)
-Spin
-Kennel (get in crate)
-Watcha think? (press easy button)
-Drop (Drop whatever is in your mouth, NOW)
-Tug
-Shake
-Other paw

Erm...I think that is it. I am super lazy and whenever we get a trick to a hand signal I usually let it be (unless it is something cute to say, like Watcha Think or the Bad Dog trick), and never actually teach them a verbal. :eek:

:lol-sign: I like that answer!
Let's see, Caleb has the basic/novice obedience stuff:
Heel (both for walking and for doing a right finish on a recall)
Sit
Stay
Down
Come
Get Back (left finish)
Fast
Slow

Then we have:
Go lay down
Go to bed (lay on mat, or get in crate or truck)
Get close
Scootch
Back up(both from in front of me and while heeling)
Over (all three jumps)
Take it
Get the other one
Give
Leave it
Paw
High Five
Wave
Head down
Bring it here
Can you pick that up please?
Get in (for making left circles, turns)
Hurry (right circles)
Listen (pay attention to me)
Go in the bathroom
Get in the tub

Whew! I think that's all.
See, I just knew I was going to forget some, I always do-
Heeling, Caleb knows all three paces (fast, slow and normal)
Get my slippers
Get Elmo
Get Tiger
Show me Dinner
Find it
