What is the best "trick" you've ever taught your dog and how has it made your life easier?

Stop and stay - he listens every time and it makes me feel safe being out with him. On “thank You“ he’ll immediately drop anything he has in his mouth which is both a part of play and also safe for him

Ah this is awesome. We have taught ours "come" when we're out and he'll run straight in between my legs and stand. He's only 4 months so I'm sure there's lots to go.

Yeah there will be ups and downs but it’s good You start early and it seems it will go easy with reliable recall for You! Which is I think most important command of all. Someone told me there comes times they forget like everything and You can’t recognize Your own dog, but it’s just a period they have to go thru. My dog is soon 8 months and being mix of dachs he took a lot of pride in testing boundaries up to 6 months of age which again is a part of it all! Well done building trust and respect, good sign he is already so good!

It’s not really a trick, per-say… I just taught the dog basic commands, so sit is in German, No is in French, Attack is in Russian, etc.. people think he’s really well trained, but it’s because I’m the only one he understands commands from.
Hahaha this is great! We taught ours how to use a bell when he wants to go out the back and it make house training so so easy. We rang it every time we took him out for the first week of having him, and took him out every time he had an accident in the house and then after a week he knew what to do and just now rings his bell whenever he wants outside. Means we don't have to keep an eye on him constantly lol.
I love this! I am half Mexican, but I don’t look like it whatsoever. But I taught my Boston Terrier English and Spanish for all of his commands. I just think it’s hilarious because when I take him to the park or in public or whatever, and I’m around Mexican people speak Spanish to my dog, and then he’ll respond and then just kind of look at me like “POR QUE?”, and it’s just really funny.
