All training is a trick to dogs. This is our philosophy. We use the clicker to teach dogs anything and everything. In our mind, there is nothing that a dog can't learn when you teach it as a trick. Any normal dog can be taught with the clicker and with proper training you won't always have to have treats on you to have your dog work.
Tricks are excellent for strengthening the bond you have with your dog.
Teaching even regular household manners to your dog such as waiting at the door, come when called, or long downs as if they were tricks makes teaching your dog all the things she needs to know fun!
