There are two distinct definitions, or methods of trading dogs.
The adjective "trade dogs" comes from the early to mid high school years, where young children used code to define when they would like to swing their fists. It was often used as a threat to extort lunch money or prey on poor defenseless nerds, while slamming them upon the hard metal surface of a locker.
At this point in time, this term is used as a greeting, completely meaningless inside joke or meme between friends. In this respect, to trade dogs can mean anything from joining a raiding party in World of Warcraft, to hanging out and smoking weed. It is absolutely imperative to use CAPS when trading dogs in this manner.

Get the trade dogsmug. In a sports stadium, 'trading' your crappy box seats for something a little closer to the action. Meaning, if there's nobody to trade the seat, why not just take it yourself?
Generally easy to do if a crappy team plays there because of the number of empty seats. It gets more difficult the better your team is, since the stadium will be close to sold out.
Sometimes involves dodging the wrath of particularly stern ushers. Also, if someone shows up with a ticket for your new seat, it's best to move.

There was nobody at list night's Tigers game, so I decided to do a little trading up. I left my crappy nosebleed section seat for a spot up close to the action.

Get the touch trademug. When a person (usually without income) trades an item of theirs for a different item that belongs to another person (regardless of whether they are there, or not, to agree with the trade.) It is not outright theft; rather an exchange of items, even if not verbally agreed to.

In fantasy football, when a player proposes a trade that insults another's intelligence, such as proposing Ben Tate when Foster is about to return or Dwayne Bowe when Cassel gets injured.

Get the nelson trademug. The act of two people "trading" a drug for a drug, i.e. the bong for the booze, whilst hanging out together.
In the parking lot of a rest stop where Cory and Sara planned to stay for the evening, Sara exhaled from the joint she was smoking and shifted her attention to Cory and his bottle of Fireball whisky; "hippie trade?" she asked.
