To add more they both know to weave through my legs. Which made weave poles for agility a breeze

And tell a secret.
 
All of the above. I also teach my dogs to wait for the "Okay" release command for permission to go out the front door. This works to keep them from escaping. Other commands include "Crate", "Off", "Go potty", and "Get your toy". Of course they know plenty of other words and tricks. I have them all written down in a list. 😁

I knew I was forgetting someone :oops: but that’s awesome!
 
The most basic to me is recall. If your dog won't come when called (especially in a public setting), then it should never be off leash/wandering around free.

No, leave it, and drop it are also important. Same with stay and wait.

Sit is easy and one of the first most people teach their dogs but I wouldn't put it up there as one of the most important. A well behaved dog can be sitting or standing or lying down or dancing the macarena for all I care, as long as it's respectful of those around it.

As far as heel goes, I don't care if the dog is in front of me during a walk, as long as it isn't pulling. A dog walking in front of its owner is not a show of dominance the way many people believe it to be, but normal pack behavior. "Let me lead and be the lookout for a while" is basically what it is. It shows care and empathy.

My dog was euthanized in 2020, a month away from his 16th birthday. I trained him myself from the time we got him, when I was 11ish. Let me see what I can remember... I'll probably miss some.

Commands:
Sit
Lie down (then Down— on his side. Down was more of a trick because it's not strictly necessary, though it can be helpful in certain situations)
GO lie down (on his bed)
No/ah/ah-ah
Wait
Okay/go ahead
Get a drink
Eat
Go potty
Leave it
Drop it
Find it (ball, treat, etc)
Off (person, furniture)
Go get it/fetch
Easy/nice/gentle (when taking a treat or toy)
Settle (when too excited/hyper)
No bite (when he was young and mouthy)
Go for walk? (his favorite question— he would go stand by his leash)
Heel (mostly for off-leash walks, which I only did on my grandparents huge property, in the woods. His recall wasn't the best so I never walked off-leash in public or in busy areas)
Go outside
Go inside
Go (give me space)
Get in (kiddie pool, bath)

Verbal tricks:
Jump
Shake
Gimme five
Kisses
Roll over
Sing (Stitch was never a barker. He did sometimes, but rarely. We taught him to howl in the last few years of his life, it was a very low pitched little "aauuoo")
The treat on nose trick (leave it, wait, okay. He didn't always catch it but he usually did)

Nonverbal tricks (Things I didn't have verbal commands for but had physical props):
Jump over swing
Jump through hoop

Word-object associations:
Ball
Toy
Treat/milkbone
Food
Water
Bed
Walk (leash)

I'd also like to note that most tricks and commands came with hand signs. Several of them could be performed without verbal instruction, and he learned a specific chain that he loved performing (sit [closed fist to chest], lie down [point down], down [point down again], roll over [twirl finger]).
