What gets your pups riled up and crazy
 

Most dogs will go a bit crazy when the doorbell rings or they see a dog walk by, aside from that what else stirs your dog up. Lola has gotten crazy over the venetian blinds. I mean crazy, if she hears you even touch them, let alone pull them up or down she comes running and starts to attack them. The other day she was on the lower level sound asleep, I very quietly tried to pull one up, in a nano second she was up the stairs and underneath them. She barks like crazy, jumps the highest I have ever seen her jump, up and down like a pogo stick to get at them. At first I thought it was funny so I kept pulling them up and down but she got a hold of them and tore several of the slats. They are cheap plastic ones, but still the bottom pieces are now all in half:D. After the attack on the blinds she is still hyped up and circles underneath them for quite a while just hoping I will pull them again. She will even run into another room and stand underneath one of the windows with blinds, just looking up waiting for something to happen:p We have very few window coverings and hardly put them down so she does not get the chance often. If I had to do this every day I would have to start locking her in another room so the blinds would not get ruined.

So what makes your fur kids go crazy

Mailman, UPS truck,the tape measure,cats,squirrels, doorbells, other dogs,Us coming in the house from being gone,The ice cream truck because they want an ice cream they cry and whine for that one

the ice cream truck that is too funny:D

That's cute Donna. Rosie and Ruby especially Ruby goes crazy over typical doorbell stuff. The only thing kind of different is when we come home after being gone for the weekend they go wild when they see the cats again...jumping on them and licking them. I never see their tails and butts wiggle so fast as when they get home to their cats!!! :)

Mailman, Fed X truck, UPS truck, doorbell and when my husband comes home on his Harley. They know the sound of his Harley and don't bark at others going by....only his.

Whats funny is we have several ice cream trucks that come down the street and they only do it for Mr Frosty. It tickles him they do that. We try to support him so we always buy an ice cream and he gives us a dog cup for free

All of the above plus one brave squirrel with a sense of humor! She'll bark at the squirrel through the patio door and he looks right back at her like "haha you can't get me". It's really funny.

oh I love it, that is so sweet

another thing that gets Lola going is the really large exercise ball, She is crazy about that thing, she loves to push it all over the house, we bounce it a bit for her and she goes wild pushing it everywhere barking the whole time. We have to be careful because she pushes it so hard she knocks things over like small end tables. She just loves when we bounce it. I can't leave it out anymore, so when not in use I keep it in my Jacuzzi bathtub. Now when I lay on the floor to use it, it is even more of a challenge because she starts butting it with her head and nose so hard trying to knock it out of my hands especially if I am lifting it up and down. All my other dogs were scared silly about the exercise ball, they would run and hide, not my Lola she seems scared of nothing. I really need to get videos of these crazy behaviors, they are very funny.

How cute we have an exercise ball too but our dont do that. They do go crazy if we have a balloon in the house though so I need to add that one

oh yes balloons do that to a lot of pups, just try to attach it to their collar and see what happens. I did a stupid thing at friends house 20 years ago that I regret to this day. I tied a balloon to her maltese's collar and the pup took off like a mad dog running everywhere trying to get away from the balloon. He ran under tables, jumped up on things, knocking things over. We were trying to catch him and a glass got knocked over spilling red wine on her light colored cloth couch, Oh my that was a mess. I felt so embarrassed and just awful, I brought over a gift certificate for furniture cleaning along with a floral arrangement the next day trying to make amends, she was very nice about it, but I am sure she was holding back how she really felt.

Anything that's out of it's proper place makes Cinders go crazy! She barks at it- jumps so SHE can move it back, bumps on my leg then runs to where the item is, barking the whole time like she's saying "HEY! This isn't where it should be woman!! Move it back! NOW!"


If it's me sitting in the wrong place- aka Daddy's chair-, she whines at me, won't let me pick her up to sit with me, and paces between the couch and the chair trying to get me to move to my proper place. :)

everything..after a nap!

Door Bell, Squirrels, any new BIG item that may be brought into the house, things that have been moved around.

And my Luci does not like it when people enter HER house. She goes crazy.
