I'm trying to improve my relationship with my young dog, and improve my clicker training skills so I thought teaching her tricks would be a great way to do it. What are som tricks your dogs know or you're hoping to teach them? I'm so not creative... this is the list I'm planning to work towards so far...

Left Paw/Right Paw
Bark
Spin
Roll Over
Bang/play dead
Bow
Sit Pretty

Any other ideas would be awesome! Also, how do you get a dog to offer more behaviors? She tends to offer the behaviors she already knows, but breaking out new movements is proving to be difficult without luring.

Thanks!:D

A lot of the "tricks" Caleb does have become day to day things, so I'll probably forget something.
wave, high five, paw (shake) with both paws
back up
Scoot (inch forward a little while sitting)
"Put your head down" (from a stand, sit or down)
Hide and Seek (with either a bumper or me)
Picks up things I drop or ask him to (including the paper when we had it delivered)
Carries stuff to the garbage, laundry room or garage for me
gets his bumper, Elmo or Tiger when asked
gets my slippers, shoes or socks when asked
turns an Easy Button on and off (his has barking dogs singing Christmas Carols)
plays a battery powered drum and cymbel (sp?)
spin (circle to the left)
twirl (circle to the right)

Things he does to make life easier that some think of as tricks:
goes in his pool when told
"Go in the bathroom"
"Get in the tub"
goes to a mat (handy for drying him off after swimming or playing in the pool)
