SkySoaringMagpie Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 So, the experienced dog people have all had moments where we look back and think "hmm, not so smooth/smart". Thought we could have a re-run of a thread that HW started a few years ago. The thread that shows even the experienced have their less skilful moments. Pictures or stories, please keep it light and don't post things that are actually negligent or cruel. So, I'll start. Here's me, volunteer obedience instructor, walking my dogs at a show last weekend. We have a bitch in season at the moment and one of my dogs also marked a gazebo while I wasn't looking. Before the show people come after me, it was our gazebo :laugh: :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inevitablue Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Well, I thought they could be trusted with beds Then, I thought they'd grown up and no longer needed to gut every bed.....

mantis Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I are an expert at keeping my dogs entertained while I am at work. I can so relate, the amount of damage Kenny did when I was at work or out, are just too many to mention. Unfortunately I don't have any pictorial evidence of the mass destructions he caused over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little Gifts Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I'm an expert on selecting the correct treat from several different packets and containers of treats to get new dogs to be comfortable with me. What I fail at is storing said treats safely from my own dog. Yet again tonight she jumped onto the dog fridge, picked out a brand new bottle of yoghurt drops, chewed the screw top lid off and inhaled the lot secretly on my bed! I hope her fat belly hurts!
