Wait by the bathroom door?


  • This is so funny… just wondering if anyone elses B's do things like this? When my BF goes into the bathroom, Lenny will sometimes walk over and sit in front of the door, leaning against it, patiently waiting for him to come out.

    Anyone else's B's do strange things like this? :) i just love them!

  • Mine just come in…. as we don't shut doors...ggg... and when guests are here.. it is likely they will come visit even with the door shut as one of the doggy doors (we have two) is in the laundry room that is connected to the bathroom


  • Yeah, if you leave the bathroom door open/ajar, Magnum's okay with that. But close it, and he's got to guard it. Funny creatures.


  • Congo is the same way even if somebody else is in the living room he still has to stand by the bathroom door.


  • If anyone closed the bathroom door at my house, Max would march over and pound on it with his paw until he was allowed in. If it was a guest–he would sit there and pound on the door every minute or so until they came out.

    Go Max..gggg… that is the way to do it!!!! What a smart boy he was!!!!


  • My grandmother will never let us forget the time we brought Nicky to the cabin in the snow with us and left him with them and my parents while we went to ski. When my mom went to take her shower that morning Nicky sat outside the bathroom door and howled inconsolably until she got out. She apparently couldn't hear him over the shower but everyone else heard him quite well.


  • Yep, often I will get out of the shower, and find her waiting patiently by the door for me. She only does it by that bathroom, though, never by the other one.


  • Medjai comes to the door, and nudges it open, if not completely closed, and then just sits there. He's been trained not to come in, otherwise he would.


  • We can't close doors in our house…otherwise you hear a paw scratching at the door. No privacy from our fur-kids.


  • We got lever type handles before the dogs and our tri has learned how to open the doors. A big surprise for guest!


  • Trixie comes into the bathroom with me alot, noses around but than freaks out because the door is closed! Strange creatures these B's!


  • I usually won't close the door either, leaving it cracked & Dallas will always push his way in & sit down waiting for me to finish. If the door is shut & he can't get in he'll sit outside against the door & whine until we're finished. Haha. Here I was thinking this could be some sort of sign for some separation anxiety!


  • Every morning I have two or three of them outside the bathroom door waiting on my wet towel from the morning shower…....like clockwork:D .....wacky dogs anyway.:rolleyes:


  • Tucker sits by the door if it's closed. If I leave it open he comes in an sits on the bath mat. If I'm in the shower, he peeks around the curtain to make sure I didn't drown and licks the water off the tub ledge. This might be TMI, but if I'm taking care of business and the door is cracked, he'll nudge it open and come in and sit between my legs. He's a weirdo. :)


  • @TuckerVA:

    He's a weirdo. :)

    It seems they all have a touch of weirdness in them when it comes to bathrooms.:D

    It seems to be a common trait…...what other dogs are, um, ah, "special" like this????:rolleyes:

    It's why we love them so.;)


  • Thanks Tucker's dad for the vivid imagery :eek: :D :D


  • Admittedly, when I'm taking care of my business on the toilet, I like to stroke my dog. :D

    I hope my sick sense of humor doesn't get me kicked outta here. ;) We're all adults, right???

    HAHAHAHA. Just kidding! I was laughing so loud when I read that!!! :D

    I am not in your area, but ... you should know that dog training is about teaching you how to interact with your dog, as opposed to teaching your dog how to do things. Most area Kennel Clubs offer training where you are your dogs partner in the class. The things you will learn will last your lifetime. I applaud the non-punitive approach. A lot of people fly off the handle when their dog chews on the wrong thing, or doesn't quite have potty training down. One of the best things you can do is give them love when they do it right and don't react when they don't. Recognize that he's just a pup. You can trade an acceptable chew toy for your shoes, and you can avoid the problem by closing the closet door so your pup can't get to your shoes. Accidents will happen and learning to potty doesn't happen overnight. Just provide a lot of verbal love when the pup gets it right and don't react when he doesn't. Love and praise are the best tools in your training bag. Congrats on your pup. Can't wait to hear about all of your adventures!

    Nice looking dog! I'm tempted to get another too once Safi is a bit older.

    I'm laughing pretty hard. I think her chihuahua had a different mate than she admits. He's adorable!
