What is your pet peeve about your dog(s)?

My biggest pet peeve about Sasha is her belief that all people understand and speak "dog." She spends a lot of time being anxious because she interprets benign human behavior as intentional threats. She also gets offended when people don't understand HER body language. This might be ok if she weren't extremely social, but she loves people and wants to meet just about everyone she sees. Repeat this scene a million times: wagging wiggling Sasha goes up to meet stranger. Stranger bends over at the waist to pet her, looming. Sasha cringes and moves back. Clueless stranger keeps trying to pet her, since she was so happy a minute ago.

Eko's worst habit is randomly giving love nips to the face. I am not a dog! Do not mouth my face!!! He hasn't hurt me badly, but I've gotten a scrape here and there. He's just being a big goofy puppy, but that is a dangerous habit.

I think the only thing Emma does that really bugs me is... she paces. She can't have a whole lot of physical exersize, so her brain needs lots of stimulation. When she's bored, or anxious, she'll pace. It bugs me, so I tell her to bring me a toy, or go get the phone, or do some fronts and finishes. She's not hard to distract. 

When we're walking and they try to cross behind me or they start lagging behind. I don't walk fast, so they aren't having a hard time keeping up. They're trying to eat rabbit poo or sniff or just plain get on my nerves.
