Is it possible to annoy a dog

[Dookus]

so much he'll want to be left alone? I don't think so.

My guy is always all over me. I can spank his belly, pull his ears, poke him all over, lift his jowls and sing annoying songs to him, and the more I do it, the more he wants. Are they REALLY unannoyable?

[Worst Username Ever]

1. That is why they are so great n/t

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

2. If they love you, yes... it is frightening the abuse a dog will

put up with when it is someone in his "pack" that he loves.

[Bunny]

3. Yes. You can scare them, but you cannot get on their nerves.

It's just not possible. I wish I could be more dog-like in that respect!

[Dookus]

13. No kidding...

I just held him in my lap and drummed out the Peer Gynt Suite on his belly while singing it annoyingly in his ear.

I woulda pulled a knife on anybody who did that to me at the third note. He wants more.

[Bunny]

18. Maybe you're a better singer than you give yourself credit for! n/t

[HEyHEY]

4. They're pack animals man - they love it

[BattyDem]

5. Mine is ...

If I piss him off he ignores me, sometimes for hours!

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

6. It's because you are the alpha dog in his pack

and you are just teaching him the ways of the pack.

They do get annoyable in adulthood, don't worry. I can annoy the shit out of my dog just by blowing in her ears or her face. But I try not to, it really makes her mad.

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

14. But, on the other hand, the dog sticks her head out the car window

in sub-zero weather, right?

Never could figure that one out.

[lightbulb]

7. I made a career out of annoying my dog as a kid

I think I was below him in the pecking order or something.

[Beaverhausen]

8. Probably leaving him alone would annoy him more

Cats as we know are very easily annoyed but the ultimate annoyance is to leave for a week. Even with the worlds best pet sitters I got SUCH attitude from my cats.

but you were talking about a dog...sorry.

any new pictures?

[Neoma]

9. pretend to your going to give em human food and never do...

[mrdmk]

10. Tickle his paws when he trying to sleep

They tend to move to somewhere else and have this look of disgust.

Step 2: Try another bred of dog, a pit bull comes to mind. These dogs will let you know when they are annoyed, there are no ambiguities about that.

[yvr girl]

12. I annoyed my dog by tickling her feet

If she could of, she would have told me to piss off

[liontamer]

15. one of my friends has pit bulls

and they are completely unannoyable by humans

[mrdmk]

24. This depends on the human

Actually, my pit bull tends to annoy me more than I do him by sitting there laughing at me with a big smile on his face. Yes, dogs do laugh and smile .

One time some little girl (maybe 3 years old) asked if she could pet my dog and I said yes. The kid goes to pet the dog and her brother (maybe 4 years old) whips out with a stick and starts hitting the dog on the head with it. The dog spreads his ears and squints his eyes and sat there a took it. I immediately put an end to the brothers behavior, but the dog did nothing. If an adult went to go hit the dog with a stick that would be a different story.

37. Nah I got a pit beagle

half bull half beagle -- he can't be annoyed, he just gets excited.

[Spinzonner]

11. Possibly Not

but if anyone sees you doing all that, they might lock you up

[Mojambo]

16. Just ask him if he wants to be "born again" n/t

[ScreamingMeemie]

17. Jessie is only annoyable when I grab the brush. The sheltie part of her

overides all and she wants to run....

[Coyote_Bandit]

19. Try to spray the dog with cologne or perfume

Every dog I have ever known has been annoyed by that little pssstttt sound and the smell of cologne or perfume that masks their natural body odor.

[KFC]

20. Rubber Band Around the Tail

Definitely annoys them. Don't try it with cats, though. You'll never get close enough to remove it.

[Dookus]

21. alas,

he has no tail to speak of. Just a little bulldog nubbin.

I don't really WANT to annoy him - I'm just curious if it was even possible. My experimentation so far says no. I will keep trying.

[DemoTex]

22. Blowing in my dog's face annoys him. Bathing him with a hose annoys him.

However, he will stick his snout into a 60 mph wind from the car window in a pair of seconds and love every minute of it. He will break ice in our mountain lake to get a swim in. Funny, funny critters.

[short bus president]

23. best thing about bulldogs.

They'll make you feel like a dumbass for even trying to annoy them LONG before they actually get annoyed.

Here's for you, Dookus - a pic of my puppies playing in the yard yesterday:



Notice Stangle's already better than half Althea's size. This boy's gonna be a monster.

[Dookus]

25. it's really astounding...

NOTHING I do seems to piss him off. It's all a game.

oh, and I love your doggies. I wish we could all get together for a big doggie playdate.

[RPM]

26. Yes - and unwise too.

They do bite sometimes....

[Dookus]

27. would this bite?

[Mizmoon]

29. That is the goofiest sweetheart bunnyrabbit

and every other cutsie word I can think of rolled into one little pup.

[RPM]

33. Yes - I am sure that it could, and would...

...if properly aggrivated. Not that I would, but I have seen it done, even by children meaning no malice to the animal.

[mopinko]

28. that's the beauty

of the bully breeds. they are so great with kids.

[democracy eh]

30. and you can tickle their feet

wrap them up in a blanket
spin them around in a circle

actually giving my dog a bath annoys her considerably, she has to work double hard rolling in poo the next day to make up for it.

[Socialist Dem]

31. Not for me anyway.....

I can do anything to him and he'll just ask for more, but the kids on the other hand...he'll tolerate them for only so long then he just walks out on them.

[rockydem]

32. Blow in their ear

It's harmless but dogs hate it.

[Dookus]

34. Been doing it...

doesn't bother him a bit. He's un-annoyable.

[DemBones DemBones]

35. We've trained our Labs to let us vacuum clean them!!!

Anyone who's lived with a Lab knows what it's like when they're shedding their underneath winter coat.

:scared:

That puppy is too cute, Dookus. Really sweet looking.

[Skittles]

36. Tucker, Dookus?

he's a freaking ham :D
