Having a crap day today and was reading a story about a dog who has no behaviour skills and takes itself for a walk. And I just wondered if anyone else has a story on when their pet has just not behaved at all. I love naughty pets Grin

@TheNoodlesIncident yep, that's happened here too. I swear DCat#1 waits on purpose until I'm on a call to trash the litter tray Hmm

Many years ago my gran had the minister round for tea. The dog dragged a cuddly toy into the middle of the living room and began humping it hard!

A few over 3 dogs.
First dog was (mostly) an angel. She spent 6-9 months living with my gran. 2 of my aunts were still living at home and one of them had her washing on the line while she was at work. She came home to find our dog swinging by the teeth from her favourite dress!
First dog also had a dislike of cats. One of the local cats had a habit of sitting on the wall between houses, safe in the knowledge that, at around 6+ foot up, they were safe from the Pomeranian on one side and our collie on the other. Until the day our collie unleashed her inner agility dog and cleared the wall to land on all fours in the neighbours garden. The cat never sat on the wall again.

Second dog only has one incident that I can recall. DM had got a M&S breaded ham/gammon platter for New Years day one year. While we were eating our tea, dog was helping herself to 3 quarters of a ham/gammon platter.

Resident Collie wrote the book on mischief and has many tales to her name. From stealing half a roast chicken from the plate in the far corner of the kitchen unit without moving the tissue paper on top on the chicken to taking off in a different direction to the other 3 dogs at her breeders when they caught sight of a fox and refusing to come back when called, meaning I had to chase after her and then have to carry her back to their house (20 kilo collie happily wagging her tail). There was the jam doughnut incident that is not spoken of, the time we took her to training class (she knew the basic commands by heart) and she decided that she didn't know or understand anything.
There was the time she was staying with my best friend and my friend woke up from a nightmare to a pair of eyes staring at her from inches away.

Years ago I used to walk my three cocker spaniels and my mother's labrador and her other dog which was a heinz 57 spaniel cross, every day in the nearby country park. I had to drive there as it was a distance away and it was always muddy so my car seats were covered with sheets.

One day it was raining and I had walked them round the woods. They were filthy and wet.

As I approached the car a man spoke to me. I answered him and my dogs went over to his dog to socialise.

He opened his car door and all my dogs jumped in and sat on his clean uncovered back seat.

He looked at me and shut the door in utter defeat

As a child we had a huge hedge with an arch cut into it for the gate, we had to put netting up after my cat took to hiding inside the hedge at the top of the arch and dropping on people's heads with his claws out. No idea why he did it, he was the sweetest cat the rest of the time.

My 2 cats I have now and my dog have started working as a team, dog is a very large mongrel, think Irish wolfhound height but muscly) he can open the top cupboards in the kitchen with his nose but cant reach to get anything so he started opening the cupboard, for the cats to knock packets down and then they split their prize. I've had to put child locks on every single cupboard.

Our very large lurcher decided to jump the gate and bring us back a live and very cross Jack Russell, which he dropped at our feet, just as the worried owners arrived.

Another Heinz 57 dog was very cute, with his eyeliner and pretty face, which hid his wicked nature. He adored teddies, and literally took them out of the hands of little children in pushchairs, or walking in the street, taking then away to systematically shred to ribbons, so I couldn't even give the children their beloved toys back. He wasn't above relieving them of sweets or lollies, either.

The Jehovah's Witnesses would repeatedly knock on our door. One day it was raining so heavy that they were soaked to the skin so (stupidly) I invited them in. The woman was sitting on the sofa, giving her bible reading, when my puppy, Eleanor, spotted her long braided hair. She must have thought it was a tug-toy, because she leapt onto the sofa, grabbed the braid, and made off with it, wiping what was actually a wig straight off the lady's head! I spent a good ten minutes running round and round after her trying to retrieve the hair. Funnily enough, after that, they never came to the door again...

When my staffy was a young pup he was having his first unsupervised 15 mins in the yard. I went out to get him and he was nowhere to be found. The street was really busy as we lived across from 3 football fields and it was football season. In a panic I ran across the road and spotted him. He was smack in the middle of a football game, running along with the boys, trying to get the ball. He was very young, so no recall and I had to go on the field and fetch him.

Turned out the solid looking diamond wire fence was not attached to the bottom rail and he had pushed through into the neighbours yard and made a run for it!
