What's the naughtiest thing your dog has ever done?

By comparison, Bear The Border is an abolute angel! :D

Unlike a neighbour's JRT who nommed on father-in-law's hearing aid the other day ........ :eek:

€1,000 worth of hearing aid, dead in a nano second....... but fortunately insured! Would love to hear them explain that one!lol ;):D
 
loving all of these - makes me feel better about mine!

i had also forgotten my old terriorist - who was actually featured in the cirencester park polo club 2003 (or maybe 2002 - i forget :o) annual publication as he was so renound - i worked there in the office and he spent many a competition walking round the pitch to steal picnics - he also had a penchant for pee'ing up celebrities legs :o..... including some very blue blooded ones :eek: :o
 
Zak: favourite toy is loo roll:
Pussycatisverynorty.jpg

For him, this is mild. He also enjoys attacking bloodhounds or Rottweilers, just as long as they're about four times his size, he doesn't mind. He has run off and been AWOL for twenty minutes while we run round screaming incoherently about loose werewolves. He also likes to escape next door and bay at the terrified neighbours (we re-fenced even though it's their fence!) or he escapes to the other neighbours and appears in the lounge for cuddles. (Luckily he likes her GSD :eek:) When very young, he nicked the OH's wallet and we had to piece together all the twenties he'd withdrawn to pay the workman. The bank was very understanding. He also nicked my mobile, lightly chewed it and shoved it under the shed to hide the evidence.

Bear is rarely naughty although he and Zak found the horizontal spindles on the kitchen chairs were the perfect height and texture for teething puppies.

Brig famously ate all the wiring in dad's boot as well as the bulbs he uncovered! He gets excited in cars :o

Bruce, our now rather ancient collie has had some mischievous adventures in his day.
He's notoriously antisocial towards other animals (unless the animal in question is in heat :p ) and he has broken our cat's tail and taken off another dog's ear.
One of his finer moments was one Christmas day we were all sitting down for dinner with the table against the window and a cat sitting in the window sill, all of a sudden, Bruce saw the cat went mental and launched himself through the glass window and onto our Christmas dinner!
A few Christmases later he got into our food store and stole ALL the food. For months after we were finding mince pies and puddings that he had stashed around the garden.

Our other dog, Toto is some sort of beagle cross and is totally driven by his stomach and is lacking brain cells. He'll eat almost anything... shoes, sponges, brushes, food that he's stolen. He also steals the sugar bowl and scoffs the lots (which usually had a pound of sugar!). His more unnatural eatings are batteries, razors (we regularly find the handles, never the blades!), internet cables and phone chargers, food bowls and compost.
Without doubt his worth thing is eating the crotches out of nickers that are on the clothes horse :eek:
 
Mine went to the park and was running along the path at the edge of the lake. An elderly man was sat on a park bench eating his sausage roll. He leant back and stretched his arms out along the top of the bench and my dog snatched a bite out of his sausage roll as he ran past. Luckily, the man saw the funny side and threw my dog the rest of the roll.

Another time I was walking him in the woods which surround the cricket pitch. It was getting dark but you could just see a young couple were laid down having a cuddle on the middle of the pitch. My dog had just been wading through the boggy patches and saw them and joined them. The screams of the girl were like something out of a horror film and I confess that I didn't hang round to apologise but I did wonder how they would have explained the state of their clothing as they would have been covered in more than one muddy pawprint.
 
I remembered another one last night, Ruby the infamous Patterdale was playing with what I thought was a lump of horse poop in the middle of the sand school went to tell her off and remove it only to discover it was the head of the next door neighbors cat:eek:
 
I do hate to be a fly in the ointment here, but this thread has given me some cause for concern. If my dog did a lot of what has been mentioned here, I would definitely be taking preventitive measures to ensure he never did them again. My Mum and I rescued our boy just over a year ago, but before we got him home, we made sure that everything was neat and tidy, and that there wasn't anything dangerous lying about. As it turned out, the extent of his destructive behaviour is that he'll shred the odd piece of paper. He'll carry through a slipper (never a shoe or a trainer - always a slipper) and lay it on his bed. Never does anything with them, though, he'll just lie beside them. Anyway, we discovered that he will never be able to be let off lead, unless in secure enclosed area. A few weeks after getting him, we started to let him off lead in a field behind our house. He was fine the first few times. Then, he would run off into the surrounding woods, and not come back until he was ready to do so. One day, we spent about twenty minutes chasing after him, and I found him trotting up the path that goes into a nearby high school! The last straw came when I had him off myself. I was throwing balls for him, and he was running out of the field with them, and laying them down on a patch of grass just outside the field. He had just ran out with one when a man walking a dog approached him, and he went for the other dog. I couldn't see exactly what went on. I was just aware of him jumping on the other dog, with his paws over the shoulders, but I didn't hear any growling or barking. I suspect he was dominating the other dog (as opposed to him being outright aggressive), but the owner wasn't happy one bit, and I heard him shouting "Get off him" in a very loud voice. That was followed by him yelling "Fu** off!". By the time I got out the field and to my dog, the man and dog were walking away quickly, and I didn't want to aggravate the situation any further by shouting anything to the guy. I have only been able to find one place where I can let him off safely, and that is an old public garden that is surrounded by high walls and a big wrought iron gate. We will NEVER risk letting him off again in a non-enclosed area.

Many years ago I adopted a border collie x beagle from Dog's Trust, there were no home checks back then, you walked in, paid your money, picked up your dog and took him home ... the amount of times I rued the day I ever went there lol, the clue was in his breeding, border collie x beagle, what a mix eek, but me in my ignorance had no idea, if only i had of known haha

well Charlie as he was named omg what a horror he was, within days of being home he killed a neighbours pet rabbit, strike one

he was aggressive out of the house, on a lead handable tho, one morning all his birthdays came at once, the postman came at the same time as the bin men, woohoo, the postman knocked, Charlies bouncing at the door 'let me at him, let me at him' I'm in the middle of getting dressed so I shout down to the kids, DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR, so what do they do?, they open the door, Postie wise to ol' Charlie boy stands aside as Charlie rushes past, first bin man jumps onto a wall, 2nd jumps into a now empty wheely bin 3rd runs down the street, followed by Charlie, followed by myself, barefoot, wearing only my bra and knickers *hangs head in shame* I caught Charlie and drag him home by collar, by now I'm too angry to realise I'm half naked stomping home, to wolf whistles from the bin men and postie who let me off Charlies shenanigans thanks to the show *blush* strike two

not to give up on Charlie tho I duly every week went to dog training class, we even went to dog shows where we did very well in the obedience classes, except for one time in the field next door was a herd of cows, Charlie did his class good as gold, did offlead heelwork, a drop on recall etc, at the end I went to say good boy to him, tried to grab his collar missed and he took off, so in front of everyone at the show, all the judges, my teammates, and friends/family etc, (see Charlie can be a good boy who i was trying to impress) Charlie had a ball that day chasing cows *sigh* strike three

I did love Charlie boy such a character

so I was moaning to my dog trainer, I took Charlie out for walkies but I could never let him off lead, he would either chase humans or any animal he came across so my trainer said "I know the ideal place! I'll take you" woop woop so one fine morning we set off to go on a walk to a place where no one goes, where there are no other animals, weyhey! Charlie can go off lead, we drive for a while, get out the car, I walk for a while, all the trainers dogs are offlead, Charlie still on his, me too nervous to let him off, so Trainer unclips his lead and I'm in heart attack mode, but we walk and we walk for miles, for hours, I'd relaxed and charlie was running with the other dogs having a ball, by this time were walking through quite thick heavy woods, can barely see the sky through the canopy, when all of a sudden there is a field, in the middle of a woods/forest there is a damn field!!!! noooooooooooooo well Charlies off! in the middle of this field is sheep! noooo not sheep!! arrrghhh so the sheep are running round the field followed by Charlie followed by me (at least I'm dressed this time) ... I've got no chance, suddenly big man appears .. shot gun half cocked down by his side, shouts over "get your dog or I'll shoot him" me shouts back "SHOOT HIM!" big man steps back, not quite hearing things, "what did you say?" me "shoot him!" big man laughs, helps me catch Charlie, warns me next time he'll shoot him, I say there wont be a next time, leave my name and addy with him just in case there was further complications with the sheep (very nice man) and we go home having what was a nice day thoroughly spoiled by Charlie boy. strike three

I could write a book about his antics, the little toad :-) gawd I miss him

I do hope you never went back to that trainer. He/she led you to believe the area was safe to let your dog off-lead, but it clearly wasn't. Your dog could have been killed!

How on earth can you follow “Ruby, killed all the hens and the 2 yard cats and any fox which happens to pass through.” with not one, but TWO smileys?! Your dog KILLING other animals in NOTHING to smile about. Sounds like your dog is dangerously out of control and needs to be muzzled and kept on a lead at all times. What if your dog goes for a child the next time or manages to kill your neighbour’s dog?

Sorry, but how can your dog get hold of extremely dangerous things like razors and batteries? You regularly find the handles, but not the blades, so that means he gets hold of them on more than a few occasions. Why are you not keeping things like that well out of his reach? He could severely injure himself or die an excruciatingly painful death! Our vet doesn’t recommend bones for dogs because he’s seen all the damage they can do. What with the sharp splinters perforating the oesophagus, stomach lining, intestines, etc.

Sorry for my first post being negative, but I simply couldn’t believe some of the things I read here.

Simple she is a Patterdale, you obviously dont know the breed. She is never near any kids and the neighbors dog should not be on our land

Have you ever met a dog? You are aware that they are animals and are therefore inquisitive, and unpredictable? They will get in to everything. It's their nature.

As for the two smileys after killing animals, that was obviously in reference to the killing of the fox, which are known pests and kill people's pets.

There's no need for you to clutch your pearls and get so precious about an obviously lighthearted thread.

Accidents happen, well done for being perfect.
We've fed uncooked bones for decades and none of our dogs have managed to die yet.
Also, have you ever met a Patterdale terrier if you were surprised it likes to hunt and kill small furry things.

Anyhoo, my old bitch killed three of my pet rabbits on two separate occasions :o (entirely human error and she did not touch them again once they stopped moving so I doubt she would have developed into an unmitigated child killer) and ate two pairs of balled up tights resulting in a near-death experience and a huge vet bill :o

Current older dog hasn't been *too* bad but his sister broke a friend's finger (he had the lead wrapped around his hand) and my young dog has licked a lasagne :p and demolished several floor mats, cushions, rugs etc but I do have to watch him like a hawk, he always has to have something in his mouth.
 
I can add something to this thread now!
Had Scoobs for just over 4 years now and hes been pretty good. Hasn't chewed anything, had an accident in the house etc. Hes a food thief, you leave it where he can get it. It gets eaten. Including a pack of butter, foil and all all!

However the other day, something upset him/maybe boredom as he had missed his morning walk. But he ate a sofa bed. I found him sitting in the nice Scoobs sized hole he'd made with all the stuffing removed, which he'd spread across the entire upstairs...
 
Blue once stole a chicken carcass out the bin. Fortunately, he'd thrown most of it back up, but it scared the life out of me.

He also liked (he's not done it for a while, touch wood) to empty everything out of the bin into the garden- by taking it out one piece at a time!

He also loves to play 'chicken' by charging towards me then scooting to the side at the last second, and yes, he has misjudged, cue me doing a somersault!

Oh and he may have done a "Fenton" once or twice (only one deer though) :o
 
This thread has had me howling with laughter :D

My younger dog is generally saintly, and even as a pup never chewed anything and has never stolen food. She kind of made up for lost time recently by savaging a sheep though :eek: If it wasn't so awful it might have been rather comedic as it involved a 9 months pregnant me chasing her and her partner in crime down a steep grassy reservoir bank, turning the air blue with the most appalling language :o That Fenton chap had nothing on me!

Older dog ate her fair share of shoes as a pup (Alec is right - it's never a pair, but one from each set...), and on one notable occasion chewed up her Kennel Club Bronze award certificate :D The one and only time she thieved she carefully licked all the icing off a friend's birthday cake :D
 
My chocolate lab - who I do love to bits - got hold of a wandering chicken who was mid egg laying. Poor hen squawed while in Macs mouth, laid her egg, got dropped by Mac who went to investigate egg and off she wandered. Checked her later and she was fine.

He is also responsible for my current broken ankle - that envolves elderly neighbour, elderly neighbours cat, a front door step plus some rain for good measure. So I'm 9 weeks in and he's at boot camp. :rolleyes:
 
Years ago one of our Old English pups turned out to be deaf and was so naughty!
One year grandad was raising a dozen or so turkeys for christmas. They all had homes waiting fir them until one day Pup got in with them and decided to play! He killed most of them and left the others so mauled they had to be destroyed. We blamed a fox!
Another time we had a peahen sitting in the garden. She was my geandmas pride and joy and pup got her and the egg one day. The fox got the blame again!
Naughty pup!
 
Henry is a rescued and very traumatised Jack Russell, if he was human he would have a string of ASBOS by now. On one day he ate the post which included my new credit card, then emptied my purse and ate my driving licence, ransacked OH CD collection and worked his way through several of those including the cases.

Later in the same week, he found my knitting, which was an extremely expensive chenille jacket which had taken me 3 months to do and was just waiting to be sown together. Made a really good job of unravelling it and wrapping it all round the coffee table. Then laid down in the middle of this mess and pretended someone else had done it.

Tonight he has come in from the fields as a 2 tone dog, and the black bits smell rather ripe. I refuse to put him in the bath in that state and its too dark now to take him outside and hose him off which is what he deserves.

Having said all that, he loves cats especially kittens, runs round with the hens and even the chicks and never touches them, but does a pretty good job on a rat as long as the staffy starts it off for him. However if you are another dog, preferably a very big one, please watch out , cos in his head hes the size of an elephant and he really doesnt like other dogs much

Lasagne licker!! :D

Brig licked the car windows all the way to Newcastle, that was a long five hours! He and his brother ate their pedigree certificates when they were posted to us. The neighbour, depsite having bred and KC registered a litter of her own, just binned them. It's only cos I found bits on the floor that I thought to look in the bin for the rest. :eek:

Jake and Brig destroyed numerous beds, having perfected the 'I push/you pull' method of getting a five foot bed through a two foot dog flap. :confused: I'd come home and find Jake on the kitchen table, dunno what he was after, but we always had to put everything out of reach.

Fortunately, the current youngsters are not destructive, but must always bring a toy when we come home: this can be an official toy, a boot, a trainer and hilariously, 'blankie', the vet bed which must be paraded up and down unless we are very tired and we fall asleep holding it:

These postings have really cheered me up after a rather pants day at work - at least i know i am not alone ........ though to be fair the worst our pup has done is chew my handsfree kit when she and it were in the car - she very carefully split it into 3 pieces and then hid the evidence beneath her - i only discovered what had happened after i had turned the office and the car upside down looking for it. It wasn't until i noticed the very guilty look in her eyes and lifted her up to discover the damage - would post a pic if i remembered how ;)
 
One of my JRT's came out of the chicken run today carrying an egg from the nesting boxes. She then dropped it on the concrete & scoffed the lot.

Her father once jumped in a police car & ran off with the copper's gloves. Just like a scene from benny Hill, there were 2 coppers, my boss, his wife & me chasing him round the lawn. He loved that game almost as much as chewing though body brushes, bandages, bosses leather slippers,I could go on.
He also peed on the huntmasters coat in the horsebox. And no I never did snitch on him for that.

He also got my next bosses bitch pregnant. Whoops & killed my neighbours chickens the first day I moved into my new house.
 
Dylan emptied the freezer once, teal helped but Dylan was definitely the brains of the operation. Teal also ate my fish tanks lighting cables and proceeded to "lay cable" in the garden that evening. Buster shamed himself being caught on the work top eating left overs while we were at the pub. All mine are guided by their bellies.

Of cource I went back to her, 20 odd years later I still go back to her, every Monday with my current collie, the paddock was new, she didn't know it was there and it was just a big a shock to her as it was to me!, if Charlie had to been shot it ultimately would of been down to me, he was my dog, my responsibility, and off lead because I allowed him to be, I'm sorry my trainer and I are only human, making mistakes trying to do what was best with a dog that had already been ruined by someone else

incidentally my trainer always uses Charlie in her lectures now as to 'you can never be too careful', so I don't think she's ever forgotten how close we got to disaster

I spent years and years crying over that dog, over his antics, the things he got up to and the trouble he got me into. Forgive me if I may now look back in his memory with fondness and laugh at them
 
jumped up at the oven to see what food he could snatch but managed to turn the gas on. mum woke up in the early hours of the morning to the lovely smell of gas and the thought that the house could blow up any second! needless to say we take all the switches off the oven now!!

Yep, he scraped off as much cheese and bechamel as his tongue could reach...we covered the gap up and bunged it in the oven and no one was any the wiser :p rule of thumb, if you can't see him or hear him for over 30 seconds, he is up to something.

I once left the room for two minutes and came back to find him carrying my mother's beloved old Stieff teddy around by the leg :o

Euw and yikes! Norty puppy! If Zak is quiet, he's either jumped the fence into the main garden and is attempting the six foot one into the neighbour's, or he's upstairs being naughty and stealing socks/knickers and then afterwards carefully placing them in the middle of the lawn, having jumped the fence into the garden. Again. Never fails to bore him.
 
Our elderly jack russell managed to chomp her way through a 2lb box of chocolates, devouring nearly everything! Phoned vet who advised us to take her in - she caused much amusement on arrival as she is normally very svelt like - not that point she wasn't - but within half an hour she looked normal again if not a little sorry for herself. Vet was amazed at what she had actually eaten!
 
Our elderly terrier got behind the washing machine, clawed at a tin of emulsion until it opened. Then rolled in it and proceeded to run round the house. I came back from a night out to find paint everywhere. It was very sobering. Our patterdale has had many near brushes with killing pets. Including my pet rabbit, fluffy tiny dogs and next doors disabled cat. Thankfully they've all escaped without damage. However, he did once take a serious chunk out my finger.

My dog is a Lurcher (VERY well known for their high chase/prey drives). I am sure he was chasing rabbits and/or squirrels when he disappeared into the woods. He will also pull hard on the lead every time he sees a cat, rabbit, or squirrel (however, his best doggy friend is a small fluffy Westie called Holly). That is why he is now kept on a lead at ALL times! In fact, most sighthound/Lurcher rescues will recommend that they are kept on a lead at all times. I am sorry, but I find nothing ‘light hearted’ about dogs being allowed to roam about killing other animals. Nor do I find it acceptable that things like razors, batteries, and other dangerous items are readily left lying around in reach of a dog known to EAT them. There is nothing funny about those things at all!
