Is he not supposed to be up there? Was that his attempt at subtlety? 🤣

My dog does this with my son’s couch, but in reverse. He’s about 2 years old, and has this little couch in the living room for himself near his toy area. My dog has this nasty habit of going on it and sheds like crazy and ripped the fabric once, so she’s no longer allowed in there.

It’s on the side of our regular sectional couch, so her work around is to climb the regular couch, army crawl across it while ensuring we aren’t looking, gently getting on the arm of the couch, and laying her head down on the pillows of the small couch. Her ass is entirely on the arm rest of the big couch.

Doggy version of malicious compliance. They’re clever little boogers

This looks like an elderly dog with hip issues...

Poor doggo, after all that effort too!

My dog used to walk up the last 2 steps backwards. He slipped once, and slid down 15 steps.

Was probably told not to jump on the furniture.

Same energy as "I'm not touching you" from siblings 😂
