I know this cannot be unique, and I am sure many dogs share it, but for Sadie, it's car rides.

What IS unusual about it for her is that this poorly-raised, normally hard-to-leash-lead, very tall, strong and headstrong dog suddenly becomes totally calm and submissive (exercised first or not), as soon as the car door closes. And she stays that way as long as we're riding, and getting out of the car.... until we're about halfway to the house door and then she wants to drag me into the house to greet jealously-barking Faulkner. This has been true since the day I picked er up. It took 20 minutes to "Sit!"-walk her to the car door, but as soon as she was in, it was all calm snuggles, and respectful of my car food, and everything you could ask for in a dog.

Must Ride More Often.
