    Give me some quick ideas on behaviors to shape

     I'm using my dogs in a little experiment. I need some ideas on things to shape. No luring or targeting for this one. I have already taught Luke to wave, but I wasn't thinking of this to take data when I did it. I'd like to have a comparison of the number of trials it takes him to learn the behavior via shaping. Then I will attempt to get the other dogs to do the same thing by imitating him. I'd like to see of course if they can learn it in fewer trials than he was able to learn the same thing.
