I hear growling from the bathroom. Went in to check, and my daft dog is growling at..... the cartoon squirrel on the Who Gives a Crap Christmas toilet paper wrapping! 🤔🤣

The sky, really doesn't like the sky & anything with 4 legs on the telly, sits and watches the telly, I think in the hope that something will come on that she can bark at

Their reflections in the glass door.

The reflection of the TV in the window.

A folded umbrella on the ground.

Christmas beetles. Omg every night, it's the bloody Christmas beetles. That's if they don't eat them first!

Mine don’t growl or bark at anything really except they both fight over the polar bear stuffed toy and yesterday they fought over who sat where whilst watching traffic - large labs so they obviously sit on the window sill !

next door has a tiny dog that barks at them all day from the mutual fence - mine go to the fence and prance up and down just to wind him up - there are several holes in the fence where they can spy each other or in the case of the little dog put its nose in slightly and snarls -mine wait for it to do this and then wee on it. My neighbour was hoping her dog would learn after a few wees in the face but its 3 years now ….. fortunately my neighbour blames her dogs and not mine !

Next door and their next door have this ... however, barky dog owner then comes out and screeches at wandering dog to go inside as it's upsetting her dog, so wandering dog owner will come out and barky dog owner will shout at them too 🙄

One of the kids was watching a show on YouTube you know the ones with kids playing with toys there was a kid playing with a plastic toy dog and my Lab went nuts barking at the TV. She also barks at her own reflection, the wind, stuffed toys, fresh air 😂 she loves all people tho and wont bark at anyone that walks in the door and just licks them to death

My daughter’s lab stands up on her back legs to look out the window. For some reason she often farts in the process. Yesterday it was a loud audible squeaky fart and she turned round and growled at her own backside 😆

Laughed out loud at this.

My dog only growls in his sleep So I’ve no idea but we were out walking the other night and he stopped to investigate some Christmas lights on a hedge. All of a sudden he jumped with all 4 paws leaving the ground. The reason… there was a leaf on the pavement underneath him 😂.

WeneedSamVimesonthecase · 22/12/2023 08:50

Plastic bag on top of the fridge. It was clearly Up To Something.

JenniferJupiterVenusandMars · 22/12/2023 09:06

My growls at her own reflection, is frightened when she sees herself in a mirror and objects to anyone walking past the house 😵‍💫

PinkflowersWhiteBerries · 22/12/2023 09:09

Another one who growls at himself in the mirror; also my peg bag if it’s lying on the ground.

Of course extra special growls for the bag rolling down the street yesterday .

His reflection in my laptop screen

Part of the morning ritual is straight out the back door, zoom to the bottom of the garden and ensure that the squirrels and birds scatter in every direction. Then he returns gruffling a bit in a self satisfied 'good job well done' sort of way.

He's has a minor op this week so currently not on form, just stands on the patio next to the back door looking at the wildlife. Weirdly I think they're confused also. They just freeze and look at him as if to say "it's your move dude, you're supposed to run down here". Even when he pads back in looking a bit sorry for himself, they're still down there like statues thinking "wtf is going on round here..."

I'm sure sure normal service will resume when his cone is removed and the garden ecosystem can re-establish its well worn sunrise tradition.

The blue light on the front of the sky box, especially if it’s swirling. She forgets about it for ages then will suddenly notice it again and lie there grumbling her disapproval at it.

Are you my mum? 😆 because my Lab does exactly this... her own farts are very alarming 😂

Bandolina · 22/12/2023 10:54

Watering cans.

Once upon a time, years ago, there was a frog in one that jumped out at him and ever since he regards them as the spawn of Satan, goes crazy barking and tries to run away.

Took him to a dog friendly garden centre once and there was a whole display of them! That was embarrassing.

He also does the gruffling after the event thing

There's a Weimeraner locally that he doesn't like (generally loves all other dogs) and if he sees that guy (on lead a long way off as owner and I know to avoid one another) they have a bit of a Mexican stand off posturing at one another but it's silent. Then after the dog has gone well past he does a bit of grumbling to himself for a while like a bloke down the pub who 'could'a been a contenda'

ChillysWaterBottle · 22/12/2023 11:02

At the dark, empty, shadowy corner, so I'm paranoid the rest of the night, googling 'can dogs see ghosts'.

thenewaveragebear1983 · 22/12/2023 11:46

Her new roller ball food/treat dispenser. She’s a smart dog but rather than work out how to push the ball to release the goodies, she went did the old “failsafe “ woof and bounce method. 🙄

Oh no! Yappy dog is called Boris here and has a lovely owner. We have a huge garden so mine wonder around and them all of a sudden you here …. yap yap yap Boris shut up Boris come here - don’t do it Boris - oh look you have been weed on again - you idiot. That’s the tenth time this week you total plonker …..I apologise and his owner just says - he deserves it - little muppet.

sounds like your Barky dog owner is like their dog!!

I big spider running across my bedroom wall!

Riverlee · 22/12/2023 11:53

My lab will growl at a carrot, and will stare at it, before deciding its not a foe. He will eventually pick it up and eat it.

Twiglets1 · 22/12/2023 11:55

Anyone noticed a lot of these daft dog stories including mine are about Labs 😂

OhGoOnThenIfYouInsist · 22/12/2023 12:04

Mine used to growl at my Daughters Miss Piggy slippers...would go up to them growl and grumble every day then he got a bit brave and grabbed the left one and threw it in the air.
Did a triumphant flick of his backside and proudly strutted in the kitchen for a treat
