I'm not talking about YOUR favorite skills, but your dog's/dogs' favorite skills.
We've had some icy sidewalk weather lately, so we're doing a lot of indoor stuff - trick training, Maisy's rehab exercises for everyone, weaves practice, etc. And I've noticed that my dogs definitely have some preferences.
Maisy adores perch work. If you pull something out and it is possible to get on it, she will be on it before I've reached for my clicker and treats and turned back around. She's like a little monkey once she gets on something, too, she's really good at it.
Squash loves pivoting so much. If he's pivoting backwards, so much the better. I swear to god he laughs when he's doing it.
Pip just seems to love the process. Whatever he's working on at the moment can be his favorite. But his default when we're starting something new is usually a nose or paw touch.
