What does your dog do if...

[Red.Apricot]

Oh you have Sloans friendlier doppelgänger.... After I take away the second toy she bites. Lol

There's something wrong with me--I find that funny, not horrifying.

When Elsie was about 11 months old she bit through my thumbnail completely--destroyed it. I was holding this stupid fluffy/squeaky elephant thing above my head at Petco to keep her from grabbing it while I talked to someone, and that didn't work. The person I was talking to was completely and totally upset, but I was kind of impressed she could jump that high. Since then, I tell her off if it looks like she's going to go for it. :lol-sign:

Taina will do the play bow thing and then jump. The kids thinkits a riot but I dont like it, shes way too long to be jumping lol. Since weve been practicing sit and shake she will also sit and try to shake. I love the way she thinks about what she can do to get back her toys.

Scream until my ears bleed.

Fudge will throw himself into a down and stare at me. Then he'll sit and bark at me. Then he'll spin, leap at me, fly into a heel position, run off and repeat.

Scamp charges off as soon as I pick the toy up, then he freezes, stares at me, runs back, hits me with his paw, charges off, comes back, sits, downs and rolls over. After that I tes to throw it for him.

Taz sits or downs forever staring into your soul.

Aura jumps, sits or downs (noticing a pattern yet) and repeats.

I was playing with my uncles dig yesterday and hes a hoot!! First he jumps at you 5 times, then he walks backwards, playbows, barks, lies down, leaps at you from a down and starts barking his head off.

Sarama sits there, grins and me, barks, sits up and begs, then figures I'm screwing with her and finds another toy.

Docket will whine, wookie, play bow, stare, wookie, whine, rinse, repeat . . .

Chloe will down and look at you while wagging her tail. Then after a bit if you still don't throw it or ignore her completely, she'l give up and go lay down because she figures you aren't going to play.

Is it completely horrible that I've done this often enough to have gotten numerous different responses? Well, only if ignoring them when they put a toy in my lap counts.

Bear is almost always the same, whether someone is taking too long to throw/kick his ball or if they're ignoring a ball place near their feet. He will move his gaze back and forth between the ball and your face, sometimes with his head cocked. If it looks like you're about to throw or kick the ball he will start backing up. If it's taking you too long he will move forward a few steps and then back up again and repeat that process until his ball moves.

Pig is...well she's Pig. She might start offering behaviours. Her go to's are usually lifting her back legs, backing up, climbing onto/into anything nearby (e.g. a suitcase, the coffee table, the arm of the couch etc.) Sometimes she'll go into a playbow/crouch and stare at the toy or your face. She might scream her face off or make her demon monkey noises. If she's really wound up she'll nip at you and/or launch herself onto your head. She's also fond of poking people or 'polar bear pouncing.' Or, just to keep people on their toes, she might just give up and walk away, usually to get a new thing to parade around.
