I might be odd man out ... I don't spoil my dogs. They'd take full advantage of it if I did.
For example, I used to give them a treat every time they came in. Eventually, the little buggers started to want to go out more and more - even to the point where they would come in, get their cookie, then run back to the door and whine to go out.
Today I plan to "spoil" them by raking them (to remove undercoat), cleaning ears, and trimming nails. They'll also get their coats blown out to remove any dirt or debris. They all enjoy the personal "Mom" time on the grooming table - getting groomed and getting hugs and kisses while it's going on.
