Calling all Naughty Doodles!

[Sandy]

Okay - I seriously need to see that Toby is not the only non-perfect doodle out there! So many times people write about how wonderful their dogs are, how well behaved, etc. I need to know that there are other dogs Toby's age (14 months) that a) jump up on people, even though they know full well they are not supposed to, b) pull on their leash when they really, really want to go see something, even though they have passed obedience school demonstrating that they DON'T do this, and c) completely ignore my commands when in public if their is something more interesting going on.

Toby is truly a work in progress, and I love him dearly. We work hard at being consistent in our commands and expectations. But....today has not been a good day. We're bringing him to my Mom's for Thanksgiving dinner tonight, but we're only 7 minutes from home, so if we have a repeat performance, he'll be coming home to spend Thanksgiving evening in his crate....

Darwin recently discovered how to open the fridge. Luckily I caught him before he did too much damage.

OH NO! That could be devastating coming up on thanksgiving.... Entertaining for stories on DK though. Maybe you could train him to grab a beer or something. :-D

Holly has figured out how to pull out the trash can by standing up, putting her paw on the handle, and walking backwards. She also opens our two turn table cupboards by pushing on them. They are such smart dogs!
