Things I do to my dogs:

tickle their feet until they either lash out with them or start licking them to dull the effect

ask them if they want some of "these ones" and hold a clenched fist near their face. they usually narrow their eyes, turn away, then turn back and bite it

staredown until they break or try to fight me playfully (i know this is a dominance thing so I don't take it tooo seriously)

call them names

tease them with words they know the meaning of (i usually follow through tho i feel bad if i say walkies and they get all amped up for no reason, i liken it to what it was like when I was a kid)

Snap my jaw at them and mimic their bark when they are being boisterous, leading to increasing levels of noise

probably a few others i can't think of, they pretty much do what they want though (they listen to me but i dont have a lot of restrictions, if they want to sleep on the bed/couch, good for them, i'll come say hello later) so i think it's a fair trade.
