Most my "tricks" that I do is just SchutzHund and Agility training with some showmanship. Such as have a kid bury Erika's toy in the woodchips or playground equipment on the playground and have her go search for it, or use the playground equipment as an impromtu agility course. Speaking on command or have her do a bark and hold on her toy is always entertaining and I turned the flip finish(military) into a dancing dog routine

Also, if you "search" using "tricks" as the term and searching back one year (not one week) you will find MANY links.

I don't know if these are considered "tricks"...they seemed tricky to me to teach
True will find family members by name..."Find Grace", "Find mommy"...
I used a verbal marker and treats for that starting when he merely glanced at Grace when given the command to when he'd go find her elsewhere in the house.
True "speaks" on both a verbal command and a hand signal.
"By me" is an around-the-back finish to a heel position and "Ici" brings him to position between my legs. Both those commands have a body movement/hand signal so he'll do both whether I say the command or not. Not really a parlor trick but I found it challenging to teach.
We're working on walking between my legs right now. It is definitely a trick staying on my feet and not stepping on my dog.
those are cute. I think i remember someone here teaching their dog how to "boing", to spring really high into the air on command.
It seems like , or at least with me, that we get so caught up with our dogs commands and obedience, it's fun to hear about what silly tricks they can do.

One of the best tricks I ever saw was "Be a bear".
Dog was given the command "Be a bear" and up she'd go on her hind legs.
She was then told "Bang, bang" and she would do this swooning fainting-like motion to the floor where she'd lie still like a dead bear. Her movement was so realistic it made the trick.
This same dog was trained to "dry yourself off". She'd throw herself down on a towel and wiggle around drying herself off.

Yes.
And training is training, IMO. And basic ob s/b as fun for us and the dogs as tricks.
