Clever doggies here. Fraser has

treat (of course)
food (for his meals)
hup (jump into the car)
frisbee (gets all excited because we're going to play frisbee)
find your frisbee (he runs all over the garden looking for where he last dropped it--no memory evidently)
bring your frisbee (brings over and sits for treat-trying to phase out the treat)
find a toy (brings it over to play fetch in the house with a toy)
bring the toy (to put his toys into his toy box)
over (jump over a stick or anything horizontal)
this way (so he doesn't go round the other side of trees and posts when he's on retractable leash or when we come to a fork in a path or set of stairs to steer him in the right direction)
touch (for hand or stick target)
greet (to bump extended hand with his nose in greeting)
go to sleep (when he stirs too early in the morning and thinks it's time to get up--he settles)

"Sit"

"paw" - right foot
"shake" - left foot
"anti" anti clock wise spin
"clock" - clock wise spin
"in front" - stand facing me
"behind" Walk with loose lead behind me
"wheres Mr Sheep"
"find it"
"get it" - fetch
"stay"
"wait"
"on you mat"
"cone" - trots off to a cone, runs round it and returns
"empty" - emptying a bucket thats filled with toys
"Bucket" - put the toy in a bucket
"over or Hup " - jump a hurdle. I cant use over for Clover as it completely baffles her :005:
"hoop" - jumps through a hoop
"8" - figure of 8 weaves around my legs.
"around" circling me.
"leave"
"drop"
"on your back"
"do you want a brush" - run off to sit in the middle of the dining room for grooming
"do you want to do some tricks" - Runs and sits in front of wherever ive left his clicker
"wheres Ben" - Runs off to find their dad
"off" - 4 feet on the floor
"go through" - go through a narrow gap in front of me
"behind" - me first then you.
"no/ ah ah"

My 2 can also recognise the sound of my OHs car alarm being set and charge to the door to great him.

I think thats about everything. It seems loads but it really doesnt seem like it
