Our 3 had to have a guard left with the food during dinner for awhile. They had figured out that barking at the door makes the humans get up and leave their food. So they barked at the door to get my dad up and then doubled back to share his dinner.

Roger does little somersaults during playtime. I guess that's pretty funny.
I also taught him to open all the doors in my apartment, so if he's not getting enough attention he will break into my bedroom and steal clothing items.

Dobermans are weird in the general sense, but the behavior that usually gets the most odd looks from friends and family is the way Murphy sits in my lap.
If I'm sitting down and I call him over for pets, he plops his butt in my lap. His front feet stay on the floor, and his hind legs stick awkwardly out to the sides. He will watch TV like this as long as I let him.
He'll sit like this by himself sometimes too. Very undignified
I have a friend with a Great Dane who will do the same. She backs right up to the couch and does her level best to "sit" in your lap. Pretty hard to ignore a lap Dane. She's also one who likes to nest. I've seen her spend 15 minutes punching down her bed before she'll lie in it, then if it's not to her satisfaction she'll get up and start all over.

That's so funny about the bed! Murphy does that too. There has to be just the perfect dent in the middle of the bed for him.
He'll spin one way for awhile, then the other, stopping occasionally to fluff with his front paws as necessary. Then finally he will lay down with a big groan and a sigh, like he was put out by the whole effort. He's such a dork.
So this isn't at all weird, but its funny and totaly all dog.
I was just at the park with my dog, and when she went to get the ball she suddenly stopped to sniff something. I dont know what it was, but it was disgusting.
She dropped the ball and was about to eat whatever it was it, so I called out "Yuck!". She stopped to look at me.
Then she went to roll in it, so I called out "No!".
She stepped back, looked at it for a half second, peed on it and ran back to me with the ball.
Our dog loves to celebrate when she'd done something good during a walk or when she's just happy taking the walk by itself. She'll just jump straight up, a little at first but by the third jump, she's bounding like Tigger and going over 6 feet high if I let her. I end up laughing out loud because it looks so stupid with me walking normal beside her and her going straight up and down like she has springs for legs. Really embarrassing if people see us, especially while passing in cars. I usually stop her before she gets going too much but hate to because she's having fun.

I also taught him to open all the doors in my apartment, so if he's not getting enough attention he will break into my bedroom and steal clothing items.
After reading numerous stories of dogs who have been trained to open doors, I decided that that was one thing I was never teaching my dogs to do
When Kipp is feeling happy and goofy he'll walk balk and forth underneath my legs when I'm sitting at a desk - just the right height for him to rub his back
