Mad characteristics of your dogs?

When our dog was younger she used to like to suck your thumb to get herself to sleep.

Our other dog (who is a 40kg toughie) does little baby barks in his throat and chases rabbits with his feet in his sleep.

There's no way you can train a puppy in a couple of days. Sorry. Training any puppy takes a few weeks at least. That's just for basic potty and chewing training - obedience training like "sit", "stay", "heel" etc will take even longer. Read here https://tr.im/7q5sH

Do not rush your puppy when it comes to training. He won't learn effectively and at the end of the day you'll just have a puppy that's highly confused and will only do what he's supposed to half the time.

Besides, after he's trained, you'll still need to spend time walking him, feeding him, cleaning up after him, grooming him and bringing him for his regular shots at the vet.

If you have a hectic job schedule, it's best to maybe return the puppy politely. Dogs need a lot of attention at a young age, and shouldn't be left alone in the house for long periods of time - not only because they will chew up your things, but also because it can be quite psychologically damaging to a puppy.

This is why people shouldn't be giving away pets as presents.

My old dog long since gone now, when young used to run up the walls or run mad in a room and jump and bounce off the walls like the wall of death at the fair. She would also do back somersaults when you took her on a field for some unknown reason. I really miss her even after 9 years.

since I got my Shih Tzu a few months ago he has been obsessed with cleaning the ears of my Greyhound. At first we separated them because we were worried the Grey would get annoyed but she would just get up and come over to where I was holding him and stick her head in his face until he started again. The Grey collects cuddly toys and socks which she hides under the blanket in her bed too but I suppose the ear licking thing is the strangest they both do, it's kind of cute too because they both end up sleeping.

My 1 years old Westie eats apples too, think it routes back to when she was a puppy there is an apple tree in the park where we walk her and we used to forget her ball we used to pick up an apple from the apple tree and throw it for her !

Now she loves her apples and we have an apple tree in the garden and when the apples fall off the tree she takes them to her bed and munches on them !!

She is mad, she loves fruit haha

my westie goes mad when dogs are on the tv, he also sleeps in the washing basket on top of the clean clothes and he has a fimble teddy he sucks when watching tv

My Hound runs after the water hose when I'm using it.

My black Lab plays with his squeaky toys, but he fights over it. We hide it and for some reason he seems to find it, he tries to murder those toys lol

My border collie trys to play guitar sometimes. He kind of hits it with his nose then he pricks his ears up when it makes a noise. weird eh? And one of my other dogs called chilli grins the biggest stupidest grin you ever saw when we come back to the house or get up in the morning. She grins so hard her whiskers come up and touch her nose and makes her sneeze.

My shepherd/husky mix sighs alot when you speak to him. Like a moody teenager he'll take his time when you tell him to do something though he'll eventually do it. I find this great because it proves he's not robotic and has some sense of humour. lol

Tiger is sooo scared of water! He will HURT himself to get away from water...he's done it before. When I tried to bathe him.

He also HATES the UPS Truck. He chases it. And tries to jump inside of it.
