What kind of tricks does your dog do?

Mine can sit up and beg, fetch, catch a ball or treats I throw to her. She can also sing, play dead and shake hands.

Mine knows: sit; stay; come; lay down; shake; wave; fetch;; stand up (hind legs); leave it! (come away from what he is doing); go on (walk ahead of us, good for getting him of the stairs); out! (leave the room) get the cat! (runs over and pokes the cat with his nose (the cat is not a big fan of this trick)); and can balance a treat on his nose. He knows what "outside" means and will go get a toy when we say "where's mailman?" (his first toy was a stuffed mailman doll). He also always tells us when it is 8pm exactly (that is when he gets his rawhide chew every night). We thought about trying to teach him to get sodas from the fridge, but thought this might "lead him into temptation"

Now I have a visual of your dog shaking a can of soda, biting it and then drinking it as it sprays. Temptation,huh? Once he learns to get into the fridge, what's to stop him from helping himself to leftovers, or making a sandwich. You're right, maybe not a good trick to teach him.

Yeah, I was much more worried about him eating the leftovers out of the fridge when we weren't looking than getting wired on caffine (although that could be bad,too).

That is one heck of a trick. How does he balance?

Our dog does all the usual tricks. He sits, lays down, gives us each paw. He also fetches the ball and brings it backk to us (he is a golden retriever, so it wasn't hard at all to teach him to do that. I think it is in their blood.) He will stay when we tell him to. He doesn't always come when he is told, he can be stubborn sometimes.
