Following on from proudest moment--What was your most Embarrassing one

[Goya]

Mine was when Jess scuttled straight out of the Arena at Birmingham National Indoor Arena at the Birmingham Tattoo in 2008.
We were doing a Flyball demonstration in front of approx 8000 pople and she ran up to the box, took the ball, then just shot straight out of the arena back to the dressing room.

I just wanted a hole to open and swallow me up.
The crowd were amazing though--they thought it was planned!

LOL!!!!

Can't really top that one, it's too good, but here's mine:

Jakey as a small pup started chasing a pheasant on a footpath, followed it through the pig netting into a field with lambs, all around a ewe who was lambing at the time while the farmer was watching!!!!!!!!!! I was very lucky the farmer didn't do anything about it and was placated with my embarrassed apologies! I run home and straight back with a bottle of wine which also helped a bit!

Wandering around Badminton and not really concentrating on the dog I had on a lead trundling along behind me. He had, without my knowledge, stolen a sheepskin rug and was dragging it round with him.

most definitley on watching my brother playing polo at a huge polo match, queen and everyone there.
i was sitting in the speacial people area with our dog on a bench, she was on the lead and god knows why but all of a sudden she just went, i flew off the bench, had my arm hauled out and she ran onto the pitch, thankfully they weren't near where we were at the time, but even so VERY embarassing. i then had to pick myself up and try and get her to come back! while being shouted at...! LOL

Mine was on Christmas day, my boyfried had very kindly taken Bomber my GSD for a walk, while I cooked, and had let him off the lead in the field, he decided for whatever reason that staying with my OH was not what he wanted to do so he ran off instead of running home however he ran into someones house just as they were just sitting down to Christams dinner, cue children on chairs screaming and my OH just following the screams. OH then started trying to grab him by chasing him from room to room, Bomber thought this was great fun.

Going to drop off a present for the Children and a bottle of wine as an apology was just mortifying, thankfully the saw the funny side.

This one is easy, the day I met my now mother in law for the very first time, we went to her very posh house in Reigate Surrey (immaculate, very houseproud!), Boss was really good, sniffed about and went into the living room for a lie down, next thing you know he is curling off the most ENORMOUS poo on her new green carpet.... I DIED!!!!

Tinadog launching herself into a lake, which doesn't sound bad in itself but she'd chosen a spot a group of guys had set up to fish, proper professionally set up with the wee snesor things in the water and all

Tina goes deaf when it comes to water and wouldn't come out and they out just stood and glared at me as I tried desperately to get her out.

 

[CorvusCorax]

Oh, this should be easy

Bodo and Bella's 100mph cat chase and hostel invasion in front of a lovely family of Italians. Who were very nice about it.

Bella finding and trying to round up a group of ramblers the other week.

D giving the judge a paw while I was trying to show her teeth.

Running into a bunch of ramblers while singing 'Rawhide' at the top of my voice while out walking N.

J being given another go at the gun test after she failed the first one. And then another go. And another.
The incredible sinking dog, she was flat on the ground by the time it finished

 

[CAYLA]

Holding a rescue dalmation outside the local co-op and he shat right at the door where people where walking by....it was the biggest pile u have ever seen.......I could not even get it up without using about 5 sh!t bags, it was all over me hands

a taxi driver shouted "atleast it's nice and warm still"

 

[Lucy_Nottingham]

Took beau up to my friends house in cumbria, her parents were saying how he was really quite a good puppy (we were having discussions about naughtiness in young dogs, or just "puppyish" moments...... sort of like this post!

)
Anyway, my friends mum said: But he was good to housetrain wasnt he?
and I was just finishing saying O yes he picked it up really quickly, I was really happy with him on that.
And I looked out into the hallway and he had cocked his legs and weed on all their wellies!!!!!!!!!! I nearly a) killed him and b) merged with the chair I was in I was so embarresed! (luckily htey have always owned dogs so laughed it off as one of those things....... phew!)

I own a Jack Russel and a Beagle so the embarrassing moments come thick and fast

Definitely one of the worst was when Bowie (beagle) was a puppy and weed all over a billionaire racehorse owners leg who was visiting the yard.

The death stare i got from my Boss almost turned me to stone!! We can laugh about it now

One that springs to mind with my jack russell was when we were out walking and he just ran, from 0-100mph in 3 seconds, and jumped up on a picnic table and started devouring a poor French families lunch. I was utterly mortified, i could tell everyone thought i hadn't trained by dogs properly (he's usually great to heel!) and i couldn't get out of there fast enough!!

Mine was in the ring at Mid Counties show last october, Isabel was playing me up all the time on the move, she was biting my shoes

Then in the line up the judge asked us to move once more, as i turned Isabel i trod on her paw........she let out a little meep and the crowd round the ring all gasped

I was mortified

she just stood holding it up in the air.

Amazingly after her oscar winning performance, she won the class

Luckily I have a selective memory, so I don't remember that many embarrassing moments with my dogs but there was the time when two of my late dogs ran off on a walk (one was trying to catch up with a roe deer and the other ran after the first, believing it was part of their doggy playing) and I decided to make it more difficult for them to track me down when they returned, so next to the path we were on, I climbed up in a tree.

From not having met anybody up until that point during that walk, as I recall, at least 3 or 4 people passed me by while I was sitting up in the tree

, including a quite handsome jogger, before the dogs came back. When they did, I was already almost back down on the ground, having decided that I didn't want to pretend as if it was raining while any more people passed by. The discrete looks that I got from those people...

Then we have the time when my dogs tried to play inside a show ring...

I (try to) train my dogs so that I don't have to close the door to the crate when we are at a dog show (I usually do but I like that I don't have to), they are not allowed to go out unless I say their name. So at least when they are older, they are used to seeing and hearing dogs walk, trot by etc. without leaving the crate.

Once we were on an unofficial puppies and veterans dog show, with a puppy and an old, not hearing 100% anymore, veteran and since it was a hot and sunny day, I used the open door as a support to be able to tie up a towel like a sort of a canopy, to give them maximal shade inside the crate.

In the afternoon, my veteran was lying resting her head in the "doorway" of the crate as they were judging some of the last dogs in the breed rings and a Papillon slips out of its lead and begins running around in the ring. After seeing dogs with owners trot her by all day without a flinch, Humla reacted on the difference and decided she also wanted to play, shot out of the crate and began also running around the ring, of course with puppy Jonna close behind

.

And I ran after shouting at the top of my lungs, which quickly made Jonna hurry up back into the crate but since Humla was half deaf... It ended up with me catching her in some sort of a rugby tackle (soon thereafter the Papillon was also caught).

Those are the two times that I can remember at the moment.
