What have your dogs done...

Another I've just remembered, my old pug pinched a dummy from a toddler's mouth (child was being wheeled towards us in a pushchair) and carried on round the park sucking it making disgusting squelchy noises.

Hope the mum didn't want it back LOL
 
Oh God, where do I start :)

Old Staffy was a food thief - he could turn his head and rob from hands without breaking stride. First I'd know of it was a wailing child. I never walked him without change in my pocket to replace lollies and ice creams. He loved swimming but once (only once) decided to try and chase the swans, well of course that went wrong and since he decided to try and escape up a steep bank so I was lying on my belly trying to haul him out with a swan rapidly gaining on us and then, once he was out both of us had to run for our lives with the swan in hot pursuit. Needless to say everyone else in the park thought it was hilarious.

Elder JRT girl was an angel except for her habit of killing fluffy bunnies in front of outraged families...one minute the entire area would be deserted but the minute a child or two would appear she would catch her daily bunny. In fairness, we were on private property and she was positively encouraged to keep the rabbits in check but people would trespass...

Younger JRT girl was a tart who loved rolling in the smelliest of things (pig poo was an especial favourite) who would rub up against anybody and share her perfume :) She also 'shared' food with any kids around, on more than one occasion she was found eating one end of a sarnie or getting equal dips of a dunker - one for the dog, one for the child with the same breadstick.

Rottweiller,

Peed on a child when he was an over excited puppy
Sat on a heavily pregnant vets knee when she was trying to examine his busted cruciates
Used to sneak into the farriers van to rob his lunch (I did tell him to keep the door shut)
Took an (empty) buggy for a walk because he tried to pinch the cuddly toy attached to it
Wouldn't let a friends husband near their child because she was crying and he didn't know the guy
Took a purse very gently from a womans hand when she was chatting to us - she was horrified when I gave it back after wiping the slobber off on my leg
Got stuck in a friends cat flap because he tried to follow the terriers through, we had to nearly demolish it to get him free.
The worst was when we were walking in a country park and he went haring over to a hedge, barking like mad and ignored me calling him (not like him) and when I got there I found a couple who HAD been getting jiggy IYSWIM. Well, the mood was ruined :) and the bloke had a muddy paw mark on his (naked) back. I didn't know where to look and all I could do was say sorry, sorry, sorry while hauling the very perturbed dog away.
 
I think you win! Although that reminds me of the first time my dog saw me "with" a man (the pitfalls of an open plan house!), he thought I was being attacked and helpfully tried to save me... let's just say my friend was sitting rather gingerly for a couple of days :redface3:
 
When my first dog was a puppy, I used to take him to the local Park for walks in the evening. One evening, he disappeared behind a tree and didn't come out. So I went to investigate, and found him bouncing all over a couple who had clearly been "enjoying" the countryside! While trying to scoop up a wriggly JRT puppy and say sorry, I got a good look at the couple and realised that I worked with them, they were married, but sadly not to each other! I did not know where to look, or what to say - just scuttled off muttering sorry, sorry. Next day at work, I saw both of them, and we just exchanged embarrassed "hello's" and tried to avoid each other.
 
Poppy has a ball fetish so if I see kids with basket balls or footballs I have to put her on the lead as all other thought process get forgotten in her excitement to play. I wasn't quick enough of the mark one day and she spotted the local kids playing football before I did. She shot off to "join" them i.e steal the ball! :o I apologised and tried to get hold of her to put her on the lead but the kids thought it was a great lark and kept kicking the football to her so she could nudge it back with her nose... took me about ten minutes to get hold of her :rolleyes3:
Now whenever I walk through the park I keep an extra close watch because they hold proper football matches there (for the kids) and I can just imagine the horror of her stealing the ball mid game!

When she was a pup she went through a steal everything not tied down phase. My great aunt came round for dinner and asked for a babywipe for her hands, wiped them and then put the wipe on the coffee table next to her. Within a split second Poppy had it and swallowed it! :O For the next few days mum and I were on the ever popular "poop watch" ha ha! :D
 
I think Pets at Home must have a good supply of disinfectant! Lots of poo'ing and weeing happening there!!

Mine, well she has a toilet habit of going on the go, so a trail follows her which makes picking it up look like some sort of 'leading the way to treasure'!! Highly embarrassing for all is the grass poo... she runs to anyone to get 'help' in that hunched dog-poo pose!

I won't even mention the time she rushed out the front door when I answered it - to an RSPCA inspector doing a survey, and was promptly sick at his feet....
 
Everyone turns up on a Sunday to play or watch Cricket (in the park), so minding my own business walking passed then i see a blurry R run across the path and then a few men yelling...

Turn and i couldn't believe it.. the bloke hit the ball and R had caught it then was running around with it... it was soo embarrassing my dog with Cricketers in hot pursuit of her...

Called her back, she dropped the ball and ran over to me, and looked at me as if to say ''Did you see me?!!?? I out ran all of them!! Food?''
got an ear full of them but it's a public place dogs are allowed to be off the lead, then carried on my merry way with R on the lead... Looking very pleased with herself!

Ate a picnic.

A very nice picnic, with little sandwiches cut into triangles, arranged nicely on a proper plate on top of a lovely wicker hamper.

In order to get this bounty, he stuck his head right through a fence.

Which was around a gundog scurry.

In which, yes, we were having a go...

Oh. God. I will never, ever, in all my days, forget that day. :o
 
He lives at a restuarant that has a shop attached, he was left on his own in the cottage (that has a through door to the shop), door was left slighty ajar so he could hear people going about, but no he wasn't going to be left on his own, so he jumped out an open window, over a 5ft wall and came round and sat in front of the shop door waiting to be let in (scared the crap out of the customers in the shop when this rather large dog appeared at the door.
Another time left the door between the shop and the cottage open (but with baby gate shut), again left the cottage, he comes over the baby gate and goes and sits in front of the shop doors and no one could get him shifted once he had planked himself there, it's actually almost entertaining watching them trying to coax him back to the cottage (think part of the issue is they ask instead of telling him)
Typical ridgeback, no respect for people that he doesn't believe out rank him and completely ignores them, they had treats/chicken/steak and nope not interested, I appear at the top of the shop and tell him to move his ass and he moves straight away, they are such a funny but very stubborn breed, I think he's slightly worse than others because his owner has always worked from home, so he's never had to get used to being on his own, now we have a 52kg ridgeback with intermittent separation anxiety!!
Friends one stole a bacon role off a kid at a show when I had them out, very professional job, had the bacon role out the kids hand and eaten before the kid even realised what had happened!!!
 
Am crying with laughter at some of these.

I am not sure who was more embarrassing, my dog or my husband. He (husband) let him (dog) poo at Burghley on the bridge during mass exodus time. He (husband) just stood there and pretended not to hear me/understand as I screamed at him (husband) to grab the poo bags. It was a huge steaming, stinking pile. By the time I'd secured the other dog and waded through the traffic the wrong way to get to the poo bags, several hundred pairs of feet of the human kind had walked through it. And several hundred pairs of eyes were drilling into me, the faces that surrounded them contorted with disgust.

To be fair to the husband, our dog walking activities are so remote, poo bags are never taken with us. However, this time I had prepared for this eventuality, and stuck several in his Barbour pockets.
 
Latest incident was Ruby the basset 'dipping' her ear in a friends cup of tea during a committee meeting held at my house, I had to leap up and quickly say something as Ruby then proceeded to drape her wet ear over everyone's feet!

Others include lots of stealing of food, she may only be short by being so long means worktops are easily reachable!

Howling at 'strange' people who come to see their horses at my friends yard.

Weeing on my landlords carpet.

Chewing up a borrowed book...the list is endless... :)

My little dog LOVES Pets at Home, however nowadays I tend to leave her in the car (much to her disgust) due to her watering habits!!

I'm sure the staff are used to it in there, there are just too many exciting smells and sights etc!
 
Cannot stop laughing at these!
My dog isn't too bad but she has had a few embarrassing moments in her life, she's a mini poodle :)

A friend of mine invited me over for dinner, but i said that i'll be coming over straight from the yard so if its ok i'll just get changed at hers and won't bring dog to yard, she said that dog is also welcome at her house. Knowing my dog hates mud, isn't going to be dirty and is probably one of the best behaved dogs i have ever met, i agreed and brought dog along. We walk in, greet everyone, i go to get changed telling dog to sit and wait outside the bathroom, dog obeys and waits for me to finish. We walk into the lounge, que dog runs into middle of the brand new cream carpet and wee's right in the middle of it in front of everyone. I was mortified. During the 10years of her life she has only ever weed in the house 3 times, and that was when we first got her at 4 weeks old, so what came over her to wee on someones carpet at the age of 9?! Especially that she had a wee when she got out of the car before going inside! I was very apologetic, cleaning up the carpet, and very embarrassed for the rest of the night :o She has never done this before or since so i still struggle to figure out what she was thinking!

Dog also enjoys jumping into peoples cars and curling up on the drivers seat. When you try to take her out of the car, she will spread her legs out and cling/brace against anything she can find to prevent you from taking her out of the car :o it is slightly embarrassing especially when you don't know the person who owns the car :)

And finally, dog is very picky about her food and she will not eat anything given to her by anyone but me, unless i tell her to eat it. So we're at Belton Horse Trials, we're just walking around the trade stands, and we walk up to a stand that i can only describe as 'posh harrods style ridiculously priced dog biscuits' stand. We stop and have a look just because we had enough time to waste. Lovely lady behind till squeals with excitement and skips round the till towards my dog, and starts telling me in high pitched squeals how cute my dog is and is it ok if she stroked her. Dog loves attention so i say yes of course go ahead. After a few minutes of lady cuddling dog, she asks if dog can have a try of their new product 'doggy trifle'. Yes sure no problem. Lady hands dog a bit of 'extremely expensive every dog loves it doggy trifle', dog politely and gently takes bit of trifle, wags tail, walks over to another customer and spits out trifle all over the customers shoes, happily wags tail and trots over to me looking very pleased with herself. Lady behind till wasn't very impressed and neither was customer with trifle and slobber on their shoes, i apologised and we left pretty quickly :)
 
Pets at Home is Dylans dowfall! He has wee'd numerous times, and on one horrible occasion done a poo in the middle of an aisle without me even noticing until someone pointed it out! Stealth pooing at its worst! Now we know I watch him like a hawk so it doesnt happen. He now just picks up very expensive toys that I then have to buy him.

Last weekend we were sitting in the car eating bacon sandwiches before we went for a walk. Dylan was on my knee and the window was open. We do this most weekends so its pretty normal. All of a sudden he leapt out of the window and buggered off through a car park heaving with people and cars. I nearly died! I leapt out the car, throwing my bacon sandwich on the floor and legged it after him. I met him on his way back to the car. Turned out he needed a wee and I hadnt paid attention and all his wiggling was him needing a wee. So when I didnt pay attention he sorted it for himself. Lesson learnt in paying attention!

I think the most embarrassing thing he ever did was when I took him lure racing for the first time. We stood at the start line and the lure went, but at the same time some kids were playing football 50yds away. Dylan loves kids and was clearly watching them not the lure. He took off like a rocket, after the blumming football! Grabbed the football, punctured it and point blank refused to be caught. He was doing that very cute thing naught dogs do, letting me nearly catch him, then legging it. I already looked like a bit of an idiot, with all the old lurcher men, and then me and my cosseted pet dog complete with coat. I had to get some of the old men to line up and grab him. I never lived it down even after over a year of racing with no more issues!
 
not my dog but she belonged to the farmer who's farm we lived on at the time,

a car we did not recognise arrived on the farm so I went out to see if they needed any help, there were 3 older ladies in the car one of whom had been housed on the farm during the war, she was visiting family whilst in the country (she lived in Canada), it was after finding all this out that I apologised for the smelly sarcoptic mange ridden boxer dog that was sat on the back seat in between 2 lovely ladies-the dog would not get out for me and the farmer was out for the day. I had to leave them to it suggesting if they all got out to wander round and have a look hopefully the dog would follow them
 
Came home this morning from work and it looked like it had snowed.

I hadn't shut my bedroom door properly and teal had got to the bog rolls in my bathroom. Teal has a toilet roll fetish, my dogs don't destroy much but toilet rolls and stuffed toys get similar treatment, shredded.

Anyway I had 6 loo rolls and now I have none !

Only annoyed coz they were posh ones I got on offer haha
 
I am still proud of the fact Dylan jumped up at Fiona Bruce at an antiques roadshow venue. He was loose in the office, she was fair game haha.


Dylan poos million miles away from the footpath where as teal goes right in the middle normally in front of me and he does a trail. Many a time he gets spaniel runny bum syndrome as I call it and proceeds to go infront of people on walks mega embarrassing.
