does your staffy know when its done bad?

Lola had a small freakout today when i had the tape measure out (measuring up for new carpets, of all things...) and disappeared. after a while i found her chilling in my room, and busied myself for a bit tidying up. i went to go back downstairs, and spotted a damp patch on the landing...

Lola was behind me, then quickly snuck past me as i spotted it, and sat at the other end of the hall. i didnt shout, didnt say a word, just kinda motioned to it and looked at her. ears down, tail tucked, she slowly made her way downstairs...


i'm not overly bothered, its the third time in a year she's had an accident in the house, and its only happened due to over excitement (mum and dad back from holiday), being left too long (7 hours, i felt awful ) and this.

still love the tiny terrorist to bits

We know when Maggie has done something she shouldn't have instantly We have her crate in the dining room which is the first room we walk into through the front door. Now Maggie isn't locked in her crate when we leave her alone so she has run of the living room and dining room but 9 times out of 10 shes laying in her crate waiting for us to come home so if she comes straight out all happy to see you and stays out of her crate we know instantly she's been good no mess or damage but if she comes out has a quick fuss and then dives straight back in again thats when the investigation begins
Its funny that they know they have done something they shouldn't have and so quickly take themselves off to where ever the time out spot is Its rare now for Maggie to do anything she shouldn't as her toilet training is perfect no accidents in months but it still makes me laugh how quickly she gives herself away when she has done something she shouldnt have

Yeah. Lexi lies down and puts her head on the floor when she's done wrong, so I know if she does that I'm gonna find something! It's the only time she lies down like that, she then does a crawl towards me as if to say "do you still love me?" Lol

Kuchar is the same - mostly. Being a boy, his urge to lift his leg where he shouldn't overcomes him sometimes , and he doesn't give a damn. But the other, ummm, more solid offering, he does know about and definitely feels guilty - skulking around until it has miracously been taken away by the "poo fairy".

Our first dog was a Dobe bitch, 30 years ago now, and she wasn't allowed on the sofas, and also had her own bed in the living room. I still remember fondly how I used to come downstairs in the morning and just catch sight of her sneaking off of the sofa onto her bed.

Oh they definitely know! Doesn't stop them, but they know!

Our lovley old staffy jetta would lay on the ground belly up until we had told him we forgave him haha. He also used to secretly fart and leave the room before we had even noticed!! Gross

Loki never looks guilty, he has no shame nor a conscience

Vinny is starting to get naughty. He's gone through 2 cushions in as many days. Yesterday he just lay down, back to us when we got in. When we found the stuffing all over the garden he went and lay on a heap of it looking very sorry and wouldn't come near us for a while.

Yes! Lol.

Logan gets very excited sometimes and yesterday when playing with his toys hit accidentally bit my thumb. It was a total accident, but boy it was hard! As soon as it happened though he dropped his toy and with his ears down lay down in front of me as if he was on death's door haha. I didn't tell him off or anything because he didn't mean to and he already knew it wasn't good.

The game was over then, he sulked for ages.

Cassie chewed the end of my laptop plug yesterday, my fault i suppose it was left on the floor so it's got to be Cassie's hasn't it? When i noticed and loudly said "oh you little girl dog" her ears went back tucked tail and she commando belly crawled the 10 feet back to her bed. When the oh got back from curry's and said £35 for the replacement i was not best pleased and judging by Cassie's face she knew this.

hugo has a big furry blanket on his bed, and when he has done something wrong he'll paw at his blanket to make a nest, then hides his head under it!

So difficult to tell him off when your trying not to laugh at the sight of him with just his bum in the air and his head under the blanket

Tyke hast had accidents but he knows when he done naughties! Like got hold of a toy ryan has left out (tbh has been very rare) he will lie in his bed and try to camouflage in or when he snuck upstairs and i call him down he lies at the top giving me the puppy dog eyes!!

Yes both do and they are both lil turncoats and grass each other up...so much for pac loyalty lol
