Do you play tricks on your pooch?

Earlier today, there was an open box of cans of Fosters on the floor. Sophie continually chewed the corner of the box. In the end we took the box away and just piled the cans in the corner.

A few minutes later, we found Sophie had nicked one of the cans and was bowling it round the floor like a football.

Whilst we would never have given her any beer, we had an overwhelming urge to let her continue playing with the can and see what would have happened if the can had got punctured and she was chased round the room by a highly charged can. But we didn't

For her safety we swapped the can for one of her toys, but the devil in us wondered what her reaction would have been had the beer can been pierced under high pressure

What (harmless) games / tricks do you lot get up to with your pooches?

The usual throw the ball but on't actually. Their faces are always priceless lol

we play hide and seek or just jump out on them . lemmy sometimes lies on his back and we play peek a boo with a blanket

Yeah always hideing from Max, I useually throw one of his fave toys up the stairs onto the landing, and while he's shooting up the stairs I leggit into another room and hide

Same when we're out, throw his ball as far as poss and jump behind a tree as he goes after it

i do this lemmy loves it looks all excited when he finds ya.

I play hide and seek with Junior a lot of the time, hiding in long grass and congratulating him when he find me.
I did jump out at him once and he gave me such a look of offence...I never did it again.

great there are someother 'crazy' people out there who play hide and seek with their dogs Me, the kids or all of us hide behind the gorse bushes or in the hedges or undergrowth when Milo is mooching asbout and then he races to find us! Sometime he gets almost frantic (or maybe a bit dim?!?!?)and runs straight past us oops!

My husband calls me a weirdo in jest but I can kind if see why ha ha!! It's a bit embarrassing when other poeple come into view and see us jumping out from behind bushes they must wonder what on earth we're doing and probably think to themselves...'weirdo' lol!!

i played hide and seek with lottie one day but we won't do that again. the poor girl looked frantic as though i had abandoned her. well you cant blame her poor mare

After Ledger has woken me up I pretend to get up then hide under the covers he jumps up and either digs me out (quite a nice massage) or he takes the top of the duvet in his mouth and pulls it off me

I was also a bit cruel this morning at my parents knowing he doesn't understand talking toys (my bouncing tigger provides plenty of fun) I let him discover the tickle me elmo he slowly approached the little red fella then nudged it with his nose then off went elmo doubling up in laughter and when Ledger thought all was quiet andsafe and took another step forward Elmo said 'again again' Ledger bolted out of the door and would only peep back round the door frame

yes our doggies love to play and are so funny with some of the reactions.

Lol Jules, Milo's much the same he still lets a loud one go from time to time and he bolts away from 'it' lol although it has us laughing harder when he lets one go in his sleep and bolts from his bed all freaked out like he's just been shot or something equally as daft lol!! He does make us laugh the silly old thing!

We play hide and seek. Also hide under the duvet and get 'dug' out. I talk to him in funny voices and pack up at his funny expressions as he tries to make head or tail of it all.

I've stopped caring what people think of me when I play with Ju-bear. Play enriches a dogs life, however old or young they are, it's healthy for them. I totally approve of play!

i'm used to the funny looks anyway cos i chat away as i take them for a walk and people look as though i am nuts just for talking to them so you can imagine what i get when i jump out from behind a tree to surprise them
