Aaaaaargh... I've just found that my six month old puppy managed to nip into the living room and dig a hole in the middle of the fitted carpet, while I was on the phone :( All in the space of about 3 minutes.

He's also stolen a pair of once worn, expensive work shoes from my wardrobe and chewed the toes off and swiped a just baked apple pie off the kitchen worktop and eaten it.

Please tell me I'm not alone and I don't have THE worst puppy in the world. What have yours done?
 
I rehomed a Jack Russell, shes around 1yrs so not a puppy as such but she is a little terror!

She chews shoes for fun. Steals underwear (and only underwear!) from the washing pile and eats it! She will use the kitchen as a toilet even after a long walk. And jumps the (1m) garden fence and runs off chasing cats, which is unbelieveable until you see it as she has mega short legs.

Must say shes never dug a hole in the floor though... lol
 
Nothing really bad because I learned very early on to watch him like a hawk - the only bad near miss was when I found he had grabbed my mother's Stieff bear off her bed and was carrying it around by the leg :o :o :o

He is 14 months old now but when he was younger, if I was out of the room he either came with me or got put in a crate. Now when I leave the room he gets put in a 'down'.
He also gets a lot of stuffed Kongs and butcher's bones to keep him busy.

He is the type of dog who always has to have something in his mouth (it's genetics!!) so I have to be very careful not just to protect objects from getting eaten, but to protect him from harm, and I do not fancy shelling out ££££ to remove an obstruction like socks, knickers, or any other foreign bodies from his gut!
(Been there, done that, old girl swallowed two pairs of tights and it nearly killed her and bankrupted us!!!)

He still overnights in his crate and is happy as larry.
 
Nope your not alone :D
In her hey day bonnie managed to chew one half of a lovely pair of double reins
Her and her daughter managed to lick a bare patch in the carpet where mum spilt something even though she thought she'd wiped it up.
I think the best/worst thing she did was running up to a women on the beach whilst she was changing, grabbed her swimsuit and ran off with it :o Thankfully the lady was changing out of her swimsuit not into it and she saw the funny side of it - I was mortified!!!
 
Well, my dogs worst memorable incident... I picked him up to put him in the back of the truck and *no polite way to say this* got a handful of dog sperm:o


PMSL!!!! Now, I hope my post does not come across as Peter Perfick...he is without doubt the worst brat at training class (I am having to give people earplugs) and he is known at my friend's house as 'the Phantom Lasagne Licker' - we scraped the cheese back over the gap and cooked it and her parents were none the wiser....

Moral of the story is, if you can't see him or hear him, he is up to badness!!!
 
Izzy used to run off with any form of brush she could find and then killed them (terrier instinct and all that). She used to be small enough to fit through the cat flap. Then she grew and kept getting stuck half way through, leaving 2 very unimpressed cats stuck outside.

Jake used to bite Izzys belly fluff and let her drag him along :p I think the worst thing he did was explosive diarrhea all up the walls, chairs, carpets etc. Not his fault he has a sensitive stomach but I never knew which food would set him off. Thankfully he now has some good sensitive dog food :o

Chewed up my slippers that my then fiance now OH gave me and I'd kept beautiful for years. They had a mad bobbly smiley flower on them. I was gutted.

They also chewed up the OH's wallet with about £200 in it, bits all over the patio.

Mad play fighting, they smashed a pane in the greenhouse, scared the crap outta me!

Most recently, one of them peed on our bed :eek:
 
Our English Setter is the loveliest dog but was the most terrible puppy. She just didn't like being left alone and would find something to gently chew on. The most memorable examples were a mobile phone, a riding hat (we're not quite sure how she got to this one) but rather awfully our lovely antique dresser. She has chewed a corner off it, we try not to imagine the cost of the damage.
Also when she was a puppy, she escaped into the neighbour's garden through their pond (it's more of a muddy puddle tbh). Covered head to tail in mud, she noticed the front door was open so went in. There she found our neighbour who was ill and in bed downstairs after having a stroke. Our dog proceeded to get up on the bed (fresh white sheets) and give our neighbour a cuddle. Although he did appreciate the cuddle you can imagine the mess! We weren't very popular for quite a while....
 
When our old dog was a puppy she ate multiple holes in the carpet, she would chew anything that was left lying around, stole things off the worktops to chew/eat with the most memorable (expensive!) being an empty tuna can. We didn't think she could reach it on the windowsill behind the kitchen sink, we didn't have a kitchen bin in all the almost 16 years we had her she was a bin raker of the highest calibre. Current dog is now nearly 2 and has only chewed my Converse trainers although she will eat the noses off of soft toys if my daughter leaves any around. She has been a great puppy I'm worried there's going to be 'terrible two's' and all hell is going to break loose!
 
After a lifetime of dogs, I have to say my current dog was the most troublesome pup i've known. He destroyed sofas, carpets, doors, furniture, ate a gameboy, several phones, the entire contents of a bin, including the bin liner & many books to name a few. What still stands out is the fact he ate a very expensive made to measure pair of leather riding boots, leaving just the heel. But in fairness, you can now put a roast chicken on a coffee table & he wouldn't touch it.
 
Our old dog chewed his way through the wooden panel on the side of the conservatory where he lived:eek:

And Hen ate the contents of my mum's kitchen bin, resulting in surgery... he wasn't even a puppy, just a greedy little ratbag:rolleyes:
 
Sorry they have all made me laugh ..

My puppy - ate through stirupp leathers I had found to use on my youngster's saddle while being broken, put them by the front door to remind me to take them to yard. - brill I thought would save me ££.. errr no :mad:

Last night while unpacking last of boxes from house move (he likes to help too) he found box of hedex tablets and before I could grab them he did a runner, when I eventually got hold of him, one was missing. I spent hours worrying that he was about to go into a coma, phoned vets etc, so he spent last night having extra cuddles and fuss. I awoke every few hours to check him.....

found tablet on the garden grass this morning where he must have spat it out last night ..

relieved of course but :mad::mad::rolleyes:
 
The sofa seems to be my girl's little weakness. Two shredded cushions so far. Have now decided to allow cats to stay in the room with her overnight and it seems to have helped as they sit on the sofa! She also ate a dog bed one night too.
 
We had a brother and sister so it was double trouble, when they were a few months old they chewed through a plaster wall, right through to the bricks, this was in our newly plastered utility, all one nights work pretty impressive
 
Lol! Great stories here! You're definitely not alone, OP. One of our pairs of sibling spaniels got left for 3 hours once when they were quite young - we came back to find they'd completely redecorated the sun-lounge and lobby: we had no curtains on any of the french windows, no cushions on the settee, a half-unwound wicker chair, and lots of tiny pieces of what had once been the linoleum! And two very smug interior devastaters!
 
OK crying with laughter at some of this! Feel so much better - last dog never touched a thing, current one has destroyed the linoleum and has nibbled a couple of my jumpers but not too much...

Steals underwear (and only underwear!) from the washing pile and eats it!

But sadly he does this too :( Have some very holey knickers now and my favourite bra is in bits :o

the only bad near miss was when I found he had grabbed my mother's Stieff bear off her bed and was carrying it around by the leg :o :o :o

I have to keep rescuing my Steiff pig, David Cameron, from him. I don't think he likes him :cool:
 
My dog was lucky to make it to 1yr i think....

He used to steal underwear from the basket but also from the washing machine as you emptied it then ran around the garden with it pulling holes in them. Never m&s ones mind, always my sister's expensive lace ones

We couldn't use the washing line for 2 years either as everything hung on it was removed, even if we threw it over the top so it was about 6ft from the ground. He dug holes in the garden for months to,just small ones dotted about all over the show!

He ate my new phone the day it arrived box and all after stealing it from the bench when left for 5 minutes by my sister. It hadn't even been unpacked. Also managed to steal a lasagne off the windowsill above the bench. Not a clue how he reached it!!

There were many other things to but these are the ones that stand out the most...He was threatened with death on more than one occasion though :s
 
oh dear you have all filled me with terror!!!

my pup is now 8 weeks old and into everything, today alone i have caught him chewing our leather couch and my lovely wooden bed.

the funniest thing he does when he is coming down stairs he gets quite cross with them and growls and yaps all the way down its so funny it really does sound like he is giving then hell :D:D

When i was a little girl (many many years ago lol) we had a tibetan terrier and we left him when we went to work and school and when we came home he had had distroyed a box of full washing powder all over :eek::eek:

My last dog use to have sex with my reindeer slippers and the sperm use to shoot across the room and it was a case of dodge or get spayed eeewwwww!!

and a very large vets bill...

cinnamontoast - how did you get the pee out of your bed?
 
My parents dog when a puppy used to steal pants and eat them.

Even more gross, he used to steal used sanitary towels out of the bin and eat them - eugh! :eek:

Little terrierist cross is now 15 and not quite as bad anymore :rolleyes:
 
M is 3 now but will still try to steal my mobile phone if he gets the chance (he destroyed 3 in a week when he was 6 months old even tho i thought id put them out of his reach)
He steals dirty knickers
He steals tissues
He digs holes in my dad's garden, usually just after Dad has planted something
He tries to steal my shoes when i still have them on my feet
He is too clever for his own good

The funniest thing he did tho was when he was about a 8 months old. Walking in the woods we came across an older lady, fully wrapped up in scarf and a very furry hat. She asked to say hello to him and he was being his friendly self. He lured her down to near his level by sitting, wagging his tail and generally making a fuss of her. Too late i noticed the gleam in his eye and quick as a flash he had that hat off her head and ran away with it into the trees. I was mortified but luckily the lady saw the funny side and was howling with laughter. Once M was certain the furry critter was dead he came trotting back proudly with it. Bless her she put it back on her head and carried on with her walk...:o
 
My puppy chewed a huge hole in my sofa when he escaped from the cage when he was younger the hole is still there as I can't afford a new sofa, it's about the size of a small plate!!!! He's still left in a crate when Im out with an extra clip!!!!
 
My last dog use to have sex with my reindeer slippers and the sperm use to shoot across the room and it was a case of dodge or get spayed eeewwwww!!

SPAYED :eek: the typo makes that story even more amusing for me :D
 
when chaos was a puppy he ate best part of a box of ibuprofen and nearly died,
he destroyed the carpet in the kitchen, and stole anything food wise that wasnt nailed down
damek has been pretty good as a pup he has only had one major infraction which was eating OH Lamb of God picture disc and the limited edition import LoG two disc set that was with it
sully on the other hand is a little **** and steal and chews anything he can get his grubby little chops on and he cocks his leg up anything, i have never had a terrier before and i doubt very much if i will get another
 
My 6yr old staffie,when he was a pup chewed up my wedding shoes the day after wedding...gutted.
My current pup has wrecked the faux leather kitchen chairs(chewed every corner) ,trashed the kitchen door and frame,needs filling n repainting.
Then 2 nights ago he chewed up OH' s phone!! And chewed up sons xbox £50 headphones.He's got away with soo much.no wonder he had 3 homes in the first 3 mths of his life..but we all love the little **** bag.
