I'll start.

I have Troy walking on a lead and harness very nicely compared to when I first got him, but whatever side of the road he is on, he likes to look at the opposite side and trips me and the GF up. Not to mention his head butts with my shins which is hard like a giant walnut.

After walks he goes crazy rolling on the floor and up against furniture. Is this scent marking or something?

When he see's another dog he constantly looks in their direction and tries to pull in that direction until the dog has left his sight, all the while moaning very loudly! How can I stop this?

On walks, a lot of the time when he is sniffing around and I think he is just being a dog and scent marking etc, he is actually sniffing out food and trying to eat cupcake wrappers, chewing gum and all sorts! The other day I looked down and he was carrying a large cooking apple in his mouth lol.

When going for walks in the morning he shy's away from me trying to put the harness over his head. Once it is actually on he walks very strangely with his butt low to the floor like he is carrying a heavy weight on his back or cowering (very hard to explain).

I'm sure there are some other things that are not coming to mind right now!

I think they're all a bit bonkers!

Mia tries to run away from her harness even though she loves walks, once it's on she also does the strange low to the ground walk like she is trying to camouflage and go unnoticed!

She also gets really in your face trying to lick you if you sneeze, cough or hum certain sounds!

Her other thing is she likes you to rub her belly, but won't make eye contact when you do it!!

Annoying = Monty could be flat out on the floor sleeping, then out of the blue, he will get up, walk to the other side of he room and start barking. I ask him what he wants and he barks, looks up ......................... at his box of treats.

When Rocky is out for walks he does something like a low crouching down herding kind of thing sometimes when approaching other dogs but not all.

We thought we could put this down to him being part Border Collie as they would herd sheep, obviously. this may not be the case though, as he now is looking more Staffy/Labrador cross. confused

I know when Ledger wants to go for a walk he climbs up and wraps himself around my shoulders like a scarf proper balances himself so that I can stand up and walk around with him like this (kinda expected him to wriggle the first time I tried but he just relaxes into it) I swear he thinks he is a parrot

He has also started purring he was at it for about 2hrs last night curled up on my lap on the sofa

marley can't be walked on wood chip, he goes berserk, hopping round, trying to chase each bit that flicks up. he does try to climb on to our shoulder but at around 19kg thats a big no. when we are walking through the park at night if he see's a plant move in the breeze he barks at it. for some reason he wag his tail in his sleep. i'm sure there are other things but these are all i can think of at peresent

Kenny shys away from his harness, im wondering if they dont feel to comfy. He's fine with his collar, but soon as the harness comes out he glares at me, so i've stopped using it, but find he doesnt pull as hard with the harness.

Looks like they are all a bit mental haha.

Kenny,

Troy is the same, shy's away from the harness when it is going on, but he walks better on it than a collar and it doesn't bother him at all once it is on.

I leave it on around the house as we go for so many walks and take it off on a night.

Its great to read that other staffs are doing the same strange things Big Grin . Harry does a little token dance around when I go to put his harness on even though he is delighted to be going walkies. He wraps himself around my neck like a scarf when I'm sat in the chair and he wants to persuade me its time to go out.

In fact he does nearly everything mentioned, purrs, stands by treats drawer.

The other thing he does is sulk when I get the laptop out and he goes out to his basket in the kitchen in a huff.

It sounds like he doesn't like wearing his harness. Romeo loves his harness and all his collars and goes crazy when I bring them out and starts licking them. I think you should try him with a collar or a less heavy material harness. I saw a really nice blue one with a bone pattern on it the other day. It wouldn't suit Romeo but I think it would look great on Troy.

LOL. This is so funny. Tysons has a lot of the quirks already mentioned. Especial the low crouching herding thing and sleeping on the top of the couch behind my neck.

He also tends to bark at shadows in the 'protective' way and I have to show him that it is just a shadow or a plant to quite him down. He has a hysterical bark when the vacuum comes out. For that matter anything he dont like the sound of.

Runs off with anything of mine of high value when he thinks I am not giving him the attention he deserves. (Remote, Blackberry, hairbrush etc) It is very intentional as he usually ignores theses items.

Heston wiggles his toes in his sleep and sometimes has dreams where he woofs & growls. When i'm having a bath he comes in and props himself up on the side and trys to catch stray bubbles. He is so funny when he gets really excited as he makes these funny talky barks then suddenly takes off in a run like he has lost control of his legs!

Such fantastic dogs with great personalities, he makes me laugh everyday x

We know that one too well lol. Every night after dinner is when Jimi plays with his toys, he'll always drop them and they roll under the couch, he lays there whining.

Another thing he does is when we get into bed (he sleeps on the bed with us) he'll have an attack of the crazies for a few minutes over our feet under the covers. He goes nuts, biting toes and pushing them with his head. I suspect he may be getting a little worked up when he does this lol.

Some funny things these doggies get up to!

Troy farts all the time..well a little less now with the change of food. He just lays there and trumps as if nothing has happened but if anyone else does it, he looks at them in disgust Laughing

Leia loves to grab hold of her training pad and rip it to pieces. When we go to take it from her saying "No" she runs off with it and we chase her round the couch to take it off her but she is so fast we cant catch her and end up going round and round the couch like a clip from benny hill and we burst out laughing when we finally get it from her and tell her "No" again she answers us back as if to say "Spoilsports" Laughing

I swear staffies just don't like the harness! My mums staff freaks out about it too, as do my boys! On our usual walk we have to cross a busy road, and if we haven't crossed it by a certain point, Louie will get really anxious and try and pull me across.
Also, when I have both the boys on their leads, if one of them poos, the other will keep trying to walk and pull me. Whilst I'm picking it up, they both pull me. I get in a right tangle Blushing
Louie used to be terrible at jumping up, which was really embarrassing. He's better now but I still get a bit nervous when we see someone at the dog park.
Both the boys also hump most other male dogs.

Tigger has 'funny five minutes' frequently. He'll just run full pelt around the flat and jump on you. Both the boys lick you to death in bed. Louie makes really funny noises whilst he's doing it.
Tigger will whine just for the hell of it. He whines even when he's curled up on you. He's a very challenging little puppy - sometimes if you ask him to sit he'll just bark at you.
There's many more hahaa!
