The only tricks Vanna knows right now are "shake" and "touch". She also knows how to open the door to her crate. Adriel knows those things too and will pick objects up/bring them most of them time.

One of my Dachshunds, Scarlett, has a much larger bag of tricks though.
In addition to all the basic commands, she knows:
kiss
shake (right hand=left paw and vice versa)
bang!
spin
over/leapfrog (she jumps sideways over her brother)
roll over
speak
back up
stretch (basically a "stand")
sit up
gimme five! (high five)
wave
get it/bring it
opens the door/unlatches her crate/or unzips the soft crate from the outside
closes the door
touch it
push it
tunnel (for going under things)
find it
hold it/carry it/take it to ____ ( whoever I point to)
get the leash (retrieves it/will walk another dog for me)
and she will "save" someone in the pool


At this point she retrieves anything she can carry, which is wonderful hehe. She recognizes "changer", "bone", "phone", "pen/pencil", "toy", and "book" as separate objects.
Some of the commands are combined into one for a specific task like "Turn on/off the TV" (opens the cabinet doors, pushes "on" button until it turns on, finds and brings the changer). "Get the bowls" means retrieve and stack them according to size, and "Say Hi" is a combo of sit up, wave, and speak.
We have conversations too- "Tell me!","Say it!", "Really?" and other questions all result in a woof or whine. Boredom or lack of attention result in a run through of almost all of them, especially if I'm working with another dog. She's a fun little booger.
