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

oh good god where to start....

chewed my boyfriends parents door frame, ruined a french connection top and a harrods teddy, chewed our door and a brand new door mat, ran off, ran after a cyclist (who then said he was a f**c*ing rat and kicked him in the face!! ..honestly hes sooo naughty but very good when you least expect it ...hes a star with fire works, barks if the security light comes on or he hear anyone outside the house but does bark at next door :S I just dont get him :( x
 
Arhh, he says, he sees another bit around the front of the house.... off he runs, hear a crash, smash and splinter sound... followed by a tiny yelp. Pup comes running back, tail between his legs, looking behind him.
Yep, you guessed it, pup 14 weeks old, has pulled the majority of the entire gutter system down from the front of the house.... !

:eek::eek::eek:

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

I am *crying* with laughter, that's hilarious!!

1 broken bottle of baileys (it was in a wine rack out of reach I can only imagine they have given eachother a leg up to get it out)
Contents of bottle of baileys missing and 1 extremely drunk french bulldog
I dont think there should ever be a night where your dog is more drunk than you are!!!!;)

I shouldn't find this funny but I do!!


My lad well:
*the first visit to my cousins house nearly killed a chicken
*when horse sitting for her neighbor he sneaked through the hedge and did kill the chicken - that is the only time I've heard my cousin swear!:o
*ate a huge hole in the bathroom floor of my rented house
*ate several shoes, books, papers and I now have plenty of crotchless knickers
*sneaked out the house and joined in with the on-site dog agility club several times
*opens the front door when I'm out and takes himself off for a wander
*raided the neighbors bins several times
*let himself out overnight and woken up my landlady barking at the ducks on her pond
*raids the fridge on a regular basis
*ate a 6" kebab skewer which cost nearly £3k to remove
*pee'd up someones leg
*stole the same persons picnic lunch
*jumped out the window and upset all the YO's dogs

I'm sure there's many more but I can't think of them at the moment!
 
Lexi ate my made to measure show jacket :(

Regularly bowled over small children in her quest for love and kisses (she was a Great Dane x Lab so not small!)

destroyed the house if left along for 30 seconds.

But she was so sweet and loving... :(
 
Our golden lab as a puppy innocently trotted up to a family having a picnic, nicked a kids sandwich out of their hand and trotted off pleased as anything with herself, we were mortified!
 
My now 16yro Labrador had a rather strong retrieve/thieve instinct as a youngster.

Usually things like socks, shoes, pants or anything remotely ball shaped. Her finest moment however was running up to a lady on the beach who was mid getting changed, stealing her swimsuit and then leggings it round the beach with it :eek: :o

Thankfully the lady saw the funny side and had already been for a swim and was getting dressed out of her cossie not into it :o

At the grand old age of 16 my lab can still cause mayhem and has my mum wrapped round her little paw!!! :D
 
Freddie the Dobermann (also known as the sofa dog!) very tall dog, so regularly steals food from table, if human beings are stupid enough to leave him alone in room with food, latest just last night took OH pudding into him (hes watching tele) come back I swear in less than 10 seconds to find mine gone, OK I should be on diet but how does he know that!! Have not yet dared to show OH what is under the cushions on aforementioned sofa, want to check insurance policy first. But suffice to say it is a good job that I usually get the sofa and OH gets the armchair....As for chewing (apart from sofa) he always and I mean always chews his bedding, given up buying new, just use old blankets, jackets, nummahs, and so on, yet he is very healthy, shiny and not fat, so how does he do it. Answers on a non chewable mat please...oh yes I forgot the door mats....
 
Tia the Doberman and chief counter surfer got the Christmas goose down off the side whilst it was cooling down ready to be carved. She also did the same with my birthday cake. Came home to empty cake box and her face smothered in butter cream!
 
I keep remembering more - Dooley killed the yard feral cat with the help of Diesel his patterdale friend. I hate to raise and wean her only kitten after that.

My old German shepherd also ate my 18 carat gold Cartier love cuff! If did make a reappearance thou and was thoroughly cleaned!!
 
This! This is my kitchen door - or it was.

Broke but happy - it's a bangle that comes in two halves with little gold screws and a gold screw driver. The person who loves you has to screw it on and they keep the screw driver lol. Sounds funny but they are lovely. I was *****ting myself telling my OH as it cost a small fortune!! :0

She got herself stuck in the bathroom and tried to dig her way out.

She also sneaked into the living room and chewed the cushion (of a brand new leather sofa). I was not popular.

We had stuff cooking (enough for 7 of us) and my mum left it for a few minutes to come through to living room. Went back through to kitchen, and dog is on her hind legs having eaten almost the entire dinner out of the pan while it was cooking.

She also had a knack for taking plates/bowls off the side - without spilling them/breaking them - and then eating whatever was on it.

English Springer I had 15years ago,killed my boyfriend's little sister's hamster,whilst we were staying at his parents' house:-0 His little sister was about 11 at the time...up until then,she had thought the dog was lovely:-/ Dog had gone into her bedroom,knocked cage off low set of drawers,cage had split in 2(it was wire top that clipped onto plastic bottom),picked up hamster in mouth(v gently,didn't mark it,it was just a bit soggy) and come trotting into lounge with 'Wow! Look what I found!' expression. I screamed,he spat it out(alive) cue much hysteria,hamster placed back in cage but popped its little clogs within the hour,shock I guess:() Dog had been before that(and after) a great mouser...not easy to tell the difference,as a dog! Boyfriend and I went out for evening(with dog!) to avoid all the wailing in the house:-/
 
Our old lab lottie stole a guys lunch as he was fishing by the river one day when we were walking her, our current monkey max keeps peeling wallpaper off in our bedroom atm.
 
Remembered another...same ESS who murdered the hamster also peed on some students' supermarket shopping,which they had piled up into 2piles as goalposts in the park...oops:-/
 
This isnt really that bad, but mildly amusing.

One of mine is reactive so we walk early. We were walking somewhere that we dont walk often. It was about 5am so I wasnt expecting to see anyone.

I also have my lurcher and what was then my maybe six month old whippet puppy too.

So I spot a dog walker heading towards us from a track a bit further ahead and to my right. At the speed we are both walking, we will end up meeting head on.

I'm not expecting to see a dog walker, so I'm all unprepared with my leads tangled and all the rest of it. Realistically, I don't really have the time to call all three back and get all three on leads in the short time available.

So I figure, I will just run for 30 seconds which will get us past her track before she has got to the end of it. No problem, right?

So I start running and out of nowhere, pops a badger!! I've never seen a badger in the flesh and nor have my dogs. So now there is a badger running ahead of us.

The whippet puppy then spots the dog walker and debates stopping. So I start calling him in the usual, high pitched manner to keep him following me.

'Come on theeeeeen'

So this dog walker sees a badger seemingly being chased by two dogs, with a crazy woman who appears to be encouraging them rather excitedly, with a puppy following in behind.

🤦‍♀️🤣🙈
 
My GSD/Rottie killed my parents' neighbour's 7 muscovy ducks that they were intending for Christmas. She was very sneaky and had reappeared before I realised anything was amiss, first I knew was irate neighbour knocking on the door insisting I go and look at the dead ducks. I apologised, said I'd replace them but no, I had to go and look. There wasn't a mark on them, she was a very efficient killer, no mauling or feathers, just 7 dead ducklings.
Eventually located replacements, went with boyfriend in his mini to pick them up and the seller said how were we going to get them in the car? These birds were huge, about 3 times the size of the deceased ones but we packed them in in a variety of boxes for a very smelly journey home.
 
Not terribly naughty compared with some of these, but frustrating.

One of my JRTs has developed a thing for plums.
Neighbour's plum is prolific this year and lots drop into my garden as it hangs over this side. (I already have enough kilner jars of plum gin steeping :D).

But I now keep finding plum stones in the house- she sort of hides them (not very successfully). How she sneaks them in, I am not sure! She did bring me a plum the other day, very carefully placed at my feet. So at least she is sharing :) But I am sure they can't be good for her digestion!!
 
Hopefully Love My Lurcher is in their 20s or 30s now and will be less judgemental if we do 😅

One could always hope. I didn't expect that she would complain about another poster knowing about that her dog had killed other animals, after a reply where she herself had talked about how her Lurcher started running off from her + her mother when off lead, only returning when he felt ready, and they still didn't stop letting him off the lead, even though she in a second reply said she's sure he was chasing wildlife when he ran off in the woods (so since being a Lurcher, he very well could have killed rabbits, and/or other animals he encountered), until after he one day ran off to dominate another dog who happened to walk by.

Add to that, she contradicted herself, in the first reply she said she did still let him off lead in a well enclosed public garden, but will never again let him off lead in a non-enclosed area (can't there be squirrels, and other dogs in a public garden?). But in the second reply she said "That is why he is now kept on a lead at ALL times!"


Anyhow, I agree that some of the replies are a bit horrifying to read, e.g. about dogs eating batteries, and razors, but some individuals seems determined to try to kill themselves no matter what you do, and afterwards, their owners can only be relieved that they didn't succeed this time either.
 
Not my dog but a good friend's beloved wolfhound always went riding with her and her children up in the forestry mountains. To her absolute horror he took off through the brambles and brought down and killed a quite sizeable deer before she had a chance to even attempt to call him off.

She beat a hasty retreat home and being a very resourceful lady returned under the cover of darkness in her jeep and lugged the dead deer on board with the help of her children. Took it home, skinned and gutted it and after hanging for awhile did an admirable butcher's job on it and put it in her freezer.

What happened on the mountain stayed on the mountain. ;) 😊

Plum stones (pretty much all stoned fruit, I think) contain a source of cyanide, as do the leaves and stems.

Judging by that you find the pits hidden around the house, the JRT isn't eating the pits (which would be bad both because they're a choking hazard, and because they contain cyanide). In your shoes OldNag, I'd check the pits for gnaw marks, but even if she only eats the fruit flesh, I'd try to limit the access to them a bit if possible, because as you hint at, eating too much plums could lead to gas and/or diarrhoea.
🤢

No signs of gnawing, fortunately.

I pick the plums up where I see them, but they fall into the flowerbed so it isn't so easy. I will need to frisk her when she comes in from the garden I think!
 
I am so glad this thread has been resurrected as I am going through a very trying phase with my adolescent rescue lurcher x and keep expecting to see posts moaning about us on the irresponsible owners thread 🙈. I am really trying my best but this thread has made me realise that actually things could be much worse, and we are making progress but it takes time to get a really well-behaved dog!
The worst things this dog has done are chewing through my seatbelt when I picked him up from the Dogs Trust, and jumping up at people (gradually getting better but has occasional relapses). However, my sadly departed dogs all drummed up a long list including:
Running into a stranger's house through open front door
Chewing expensive shoes
Chewing through a landline cable
Chewing holes in walls
Killing ducks
Taking regular trips to the slurry pit
Chasing the horses
Running through the house with my bra while I was teaching piano to a small child
Taking a massive dump on the floor just as I was proudly declaring my spaniel house trained!

I'm sure there are loads more that I've forgotten, and of course I made every effort to ensure these things didn't occur more than once but animals train us as much as we train them, and until something has happened you often don't realise it was something you'd have to prevent! And the thing that I really appreciate about this thread us that it's reminded me that it does get better and the embarrassing moments do reduce, and in 12-15 years (hopefully) I will be reminiscing with people about my current dog and completely forgetting that I spent the first year or two saying 'just to warn you, he's insane'!

Oh, you're going to frisk her. How many plums do you think you're going to catch her trying to smuggle indoors via her mouth in one go?
3?
Is 5 too many?

Please update.
