Pet Tricks

What tricks do your pets do, trained to do so or not? Like, some pets will come when you call even when you never train them to come, like my cats.
Wolfie, my dog's, trained tricks: Sit, lie down, roll over (sort of), up, dance (He kinda jumps up on you and puts his paws on your shoulders, it's cute), give it, and we're working unsucessfully on stay. He just won't stay. Stop and heel would be nice too.
Wolfie's Untrained tricks: Fetching, tug-o-war, boxing (Not a good thing- sometimes he'll punch you in the stomach with his paw.
) Jousting (He runs around his yard, and you're supposed to run with him, and he'll head straight for you and turn at the last second. He'll keep doing that until he summons up the courage to knock you down and trample you into the ground, and then lick your face and get you up. Sometimes he'll joust with a stick. So cute!), sled/skate-pulling (Harness him up and he'll drag you along happily) throwing the ball to himself, and backflips! He's good at backflips. Sometimes he'll just throw the ball high in the air, do a backflip, catch it *in the middle of the backflip*, and land on all four paws. So cute! He did that twice today 
...but he still can't go in his dog house. Argh.

I never heard him say this. The lady at Petco would call him this) "How ya/you doing?" and once in a blue moon,he'll say "Bob" (my dad). Once within the first couple weeks he was here dad went to take a shower and Harley was going like this,"AHHHHHHHH!AHHHHH!BOOOOOOOOOOOOOB! AH AH AHHHH BOB!!!!". Hilarious. He is beaing tought to say,"please" and "lucky"..

Awww that sounds cute! The only trick my cat does is biting my ankles if she wants feeding. She really is a dumb animal. She'll get on the windowsill, miaowing to be let in, then when I open the door, she just stares blankly at me and carries on wailing to be let in, even when the door is wide open she doesn't notice!! Stupid mammal...

My dog can do a circle, hop up, speak, chase her tail, and sit. I love to tell her to chase her tail lol.

We had to give away my dog Baby when we moved (she lives with my aunt now, so I still get to see her).
She can sit, stay, sit up, beg, roll over, play dead, shake hands, and speak on command. (She never barks unless you tell her to speak, except sometimes when she's surprised or scared or excited)
She can also do ALL of those tricks without me saying a word (through hand signals/body language)
She can play tug of war, and she used to be able to fetch (I remember teaching her, but I think she forgot how because we never did it enough), I taught her to whisper once (where she looks like she's barking, but doesn't make a sound, like people mouth words) but she forgot that too.

Kevin's been trained to lie down and stay and to stop doing something immediately. Say he ran out the front door if someone held it ajar because they were going out- if we just yelled 'no' he'd put his tail between his legs and come right back in. He lies down if you pat the floor twice. And he stays if you point at him and shout 'STAY!'.

My border collie King will fall on the ground with his paws in the air and his tounge hanging out when you point at him and say "pow."

That is so cute!
I wish I could teach my (part) BC that!

My Maltese-poodle mix Hallie can sit, stay, come, jump through a hoop, and go up on her hind legs and spin in a circle. She won't lay down though. It's annoying.

It took him forever to learn. But his other tricks are shake, sit, and kiss. Well and 'sick em', but my mom won't let me use it on anyone unless they try to hurt me first.

My dog can clear out an entire wing of the house when she farts. I don't know if that counts as a trick, though.

My cat, Sasha, can only tell when you're talking about her, and she seems to remember certain times. That's about it.

My cats are training ME.
My dogs can cut diamonds with their farts.
