I am Gunter, a big German Shepard baby. As soon as I see my mommy get my leash, I get so excited I have been known to knock over tables, start chewing her shoes (yum) and anything else that I think will help. I always tip over the shoe basket at the door in case she needs to change her shoes…

look at that sweet goofy face…every life should have at least one little silly dog and one big goofy dog it it!
Heather
lol, I guess you’re lucky he doesn’t pee himself too. Gotta count your blessings.
Jane
He is so cute you have to forgive him!
Wendy Landry
LOL my Marco ,also a GSD, does the same thing. He even knocks me down!
Kim Gates
He looks very sorry. He needs more walks and treats. And maybe a new toy.

Awww, how could anyone stay mad at that face? Such a sweet boy!

We have to use all sorts of codes to say we are going on a walk. We say things like “I’m going to take the canine for a promenade.” If was say “walk” or “dog” chaos breaks out!! We have to creep ninja-like into the laundry room and try to silently remove the leash from the hook…

This works for smaller-vocabularied children, too. Until school ruins it and they learn how to spell!!
Dana
I’ve not had to do that yet with my dog, but for one of my sister’s dogs, the word OUT caused mass chaos! We had to start saying o-u-t, until he caught on to that one, and we spelled it t-u-o. Too smart for our own good!
Amy
Oh my god, we are SO going to say “I’m going to take the canine for a promenade” from now on. Our GSD goes INSANE if we say the words “walk” or “dog park”. He starts squealing and barking. Thanks for the laugh.
Juls
Oh, Gunter, you are such a handsome boy! Who could stay mad at that face?

It is so recognizable! Our dog, Nana, goes completely bananas, even when I change shoes, and take my coat. She doesn’t seem to understand that there are other things to do, then going for a walk ;o) She keeps on running in rounds, trying to catch her tail, and follows me as I get her leash. I try to keep still, with the leash, otherwise she would take it in her mouth and try to pull me, opposite roleplay:o) I always try to calm her down, she reacts so extremely nervous! Even when i send her to her bed, before putting her on the leash, she’s shaking all over from excitement! I wonder if there are other dogs who react this extreme?
