One job I've given my GSD is to dig on command which we had used to get her to use a dig pit and not the rest of the yard. I've buried tennis balls there which she loves to dig out and hopefully this spring she'll help tilling the garden.

This past winter with the blizzards we had I had scented old tennis balls with sesame oil and buried them under different levels of snow around the yard and she loved finding them. Her best was finding one under 14 inches of snow.

Also, I've sort of gotten her to step on my shoes to spot me when I'm doing crunches, it's not 100% but it's pretty cool. If I can get her to spot me on squats and bench pressing I'll have her join the gym with me, hehe.
