Great thread!
Keiko's most annoying habit is that she's a food hound. And my dad has made her (and the others) much worse by feeding them table scraps every day.
I'm constantly tripping over someone in the kitchen. Luckily they know I won't give them anything unless I call them so an "out" is all they need to leave me alone. She also has a bad habit that whenever she is annoyed at being left alone or thinks she needed to go out/come with/be fed before I leave.........
..she will go thru the trash in the bathrooms. Luckily she doesn't do it so often anymore, well she is also more prone to it during the "special time of the month"
Gunther feels the need to bark at everything. Dog outside? Bark. Squirrel? Bark. Falling leaf? Bark, bark bark. He was so well trained too until we moved here and my sister's dog is horrible about barking. Luckily he will listen to me to be quiet but apparently no one else is that special.......
....lol. He is also scared of everything....
....mostly plastic and paper bags.........l
ol. Oh, and balloons, he hates those. He outgrew the give paw thing when a pup, but if you're trying to give him a belly rub, he will swing a paw in your face. He is learning "no paw" for this one as well but it's almost as if he can't help himself.......
......lol.
Nigel has the most annoying bad habit. He marks in the house. I have worked extensively with him on this to no avail. Of course it doesn't help that sis' dog mentioned earlier also marks in the house.........
.yes, he's shown bad habits all around to my crew.
He knows not to go in front of you and I've tried belly bands (none fit), leashing him (again won't go when you're there) and kenneling him (don't like doing that all day). I've now boughten him spiderman little boy underpants as well as baby onesies, neither of which fit him right I'll need to find a way to make them work. Doesn't help my dad lets him run around loose in the house while he's in the basement......
.....I never allow him to have the run of the house. Luckily when visiting our new house he made no attempts to mark at all, so hopefully it will end when I officially move. He also jumps on you. Well, not on me he knows to sit but everyone else. He will listen if you tell him "off" but 2 seconds later he's at it again. Of course it would help if my mom and sis would follow thru with the training I've told them to with him instead of just yelling "off, off, off, off" or in my mom's case saying it softly and quiet. Like he's going to listen to that! And when he gets too excited he will jump and nip you at the same time, but seems to do this only to my sister........
.lol.
Posey is also a jumper but not as annoying b/c she's smaller. Again she knows not to do this to me. Her more annoying habit is that when she gets scared or thinks she's in trouble, you cannot approach her or she will pee. She's done this since a puppy. Even if you're yelling at someone else and not her, she thinks she's in trouble too.
She also will put anything and everything in her mouth. We've had some scares with her on that one...........
.eating pantyliners mostly (she wears them in her undies when in heat)...........lol
. She is also the master destuffer of toys.......as well as Gunther's now destuffed sleeping bag/bed.
