Huckleberry barks/growls at the TV if he sees animals on the screen. This drives me crazy....I know you have to sometimes pick your battles but I would like to choke him when he does it!
When I have opened the gate to drive into our compound, Toby runs out and as I am getting back into the car he jumps in and insists on being driven into the compound with him sitting on the passenger seat beside me.
Honestly we don't go further than 10 yards from gate to where I park up but he has to do this or he gets really upset.
Chase grabs the same pillow off of the couch at least three times a day and parades around with it. It was slightly cute once. Now, it's just annoying. I've tried correcting him, redirecting him, ignoring him....nothing deters him. Whenever he wants attention or is excited (about people coming home, etc.), he grabs the pillow and parades. Drives. me. nuts.
Nothing they do can be annoying...its all adorable! Well except that faucet of drool that runs out of her mouth every morning while waiting to get a few pieces of my cereal.
Avril's excited barking. It wouldn't be as annoying if she didn't sound like a chihuahua when she does it. Or the getting into the sink and cleaning out the bowls.
Our baby Kelly often watches TV (laying on Mom's lap @ night)...but it is the DT VIDEO's here & the odd canine YouTuibe - that with do her in.
- she picked up on other dog barks & growls at the screen (since 10 weeks old) // best early protection, I've seen in any of my former dober pups
-:lol2:...then she jumps up on Dad's lap with both front feet crossing across the laptop mousepad // and Dad praises & kisses her, for earily detection
The "annoying" thing for me is a love/hate thing, as I'm sure it is for many people on here..
The ever dangerous, unbearably funny/affectionate and shocking "doberpoke."
My old dog used to do the doberpoke right up the crotch to friends/guests. Some people would split a gut laughing (if he didn't sack the guys by doing it too hard), and others would just be so offended (those that were offended I didn't usually stick around, needless to say lol) !!...
It's great watching other victims be subjected to the doberpoke until our dobes do this to us with a cold nose in the ear/armpit or other vulnerable areas when you aren't expecting it. Our dobes seem to particularly enjoy the doberpoke when we are bent over doing something.. They are like sharks, wait for the the perfect opportunity and BAM, doberpoke right up the butt when you least expect it...
Mine does not ride in the car well. She in fact tries to eat the car, and whines my goodness does she whine. Now she will eventually settle down but until she does I want to strangle the gal.
I am sooooooooooooooooo not looking forward to the move down to Texas when it occurs because of the lil brat and the car antics.
The frantic barking whenever a doorbell rings on the TV!!..ugh. She can be sound asleep and will bolt up and start. It's very loud and is the worst when it startles you while you were falling asleep watching tv. I hate that!
The drippy water beard! Agh! Also, if Brandy gets a toy stuck under the stove or under the table, she will let out this very loud whiny yelp, as if to go MOM! HELP!
My pittie thinks that she has to save me from the vacuum. She sneaks up (so she thinks) as I'm vacuuming and grabs it. I'm talking lifting the whole thing off of the ground and trying to shake it. I have teeth marks all over the front of the vacuum. Watch out if I take the vacuum hose out...she barks continuously while grabbing the hose. My DH thinks its hilarious so he has made it a game for her and I can't break her of it now! It drives me crazy!!!
ETA: I just thought of my dobie's annoying habit. He constantly walks up behind me and gooses me. I can't go a day without that big, wet dober-nose going up my rear end. Just the other day my hubby walks in the room after deacon gooses me and hears me telling the dog "how would you like it if I shoved my nose up your butt?!" Needless to say, husband just turned and walked right out of the room.

Zelda: Exists.
Prime: Gets deer in the headlight look, ears pinned back, and acts like he's traumatized and it's the end of the world if I give him a firm correction. Sensitive boy.
Rogue: ANXIETY spasms.
Whenever there is a bare butt around, his nose is up it... and if you try to cover it with pants, he tries to grab them and run. He will paw at the pants, jump on them, trip you so you drop them, whatever he can do to keep you naked.
Even when I have pants on, if I pick some other ones up to fold them or something, he gets really crazy and tries really hard to knock them out of my hands. It was really cute at first, funny really... but NOW it is obnoxious! Especially when you are in a hurry lol
Koa totally doberpokes guests in the crotch. Male, female, makes no difference, he doesn't discriminate. So. EMBARASSING.
Also - the second we make a certain turn on the drive home, the whine starts. Now, mind you, we still have four more turns in the remaining mile until home but I swear it's like he's going "Moooooooom hurry upppppppppp" like we are never going to make it to the driveway. Drives me bonkers. He's such a chatty boy, most of the time I like that he's chatty but GOOD LORD clearly he knows where we are, so he knows how much time until home! LOL!
For me it's the absolute HATRED of technology. Whether its the iPad, iPhone, laptop Hades will push himself in between me and whatever and try to get on my lap. This is especially annoying since I work from home a lot and sometimes I prefer to be on the couch instead of my home office. He makes it virtually impossible to get anything done.
He actually closed the laptop with his head then held it closed... Ugh if he wasn't so cute about it I'd try not to pet him and take pictures!! Grrrrrrr!
I work from home as well, and it's the toys pushed between me and the computer, the head laying HEAVILY on my arm, the bumps on my elbow when I am trying to create on my tablet (UGGHHH!!) and oh don't forget the toy is stuck under the couch and I have to get down and retrieve it for her...
But when she looks at me with those sweet dobereyes and cocks her head to the side?
When you step outside to get something, like the mail, or something from the car. You have been gone all of 5 seconds and they act as if you were gone for a month - Huckleberry grabbing the closest shoe (even if it's the one on your foot), and Calamity weaving between your legs!
