Sorry missed this
Freeshaping is a fun bit of clicker training where you just click and reward your dog for different behaviours then when something looks a bit cute you can click more often for it

Most people start with a box - then you reward the dog for any interaction with the box, sniffing it, pawing it, walking round it
eventually when the dog gets the hang of the game they offer all sorts of tricks around it
I was trying to teach Ben to get into a suitcase and at one point he offered cocking his leg over it - very funny

its great fun because they have to use their brains to try and figure out what tricks are going to make you click

search on youtube for 101 things to do with a box
