🚨 Public Warning 🚨

Biscuit may look cute and innocent… but the moment her owner leaves the house, she transforms into the Destroyer of Cushions. 🐶💥🛋️

One minute: perfectly fine cushion.
Next minute: fluff explosion across the entire living room like it had snowed indoors. ❄️😂

Biscuit denies all allegations, despite being found sitting proudly in the middle of the stuffing like a tiny fluffy queen of chaos. 👑🐾

To truly understand Biscuit, you must understand the deep, instinctive joy dogs feel when destuffing a cushion, especailly when the fun police are not in the house to hinder the enjoyment!

Bisculit is young dog, this behaviour can often be related to just enjoying the fun and freedom to choose rather than seperation distress when left alone, with a spying camera being installed, the plot may thicken, but initally control and management has begun to deny Biscuit the opportunity to "kill the cushions!" 🐶💥🛋️

Moral of the story: never underestimate a quiet dog and an unattended cushion.

Maximus the GREATEST! - Handsome Max 🥰 ( he really does have ears - he is too busy smiling to show them!)

At 12 months old, most dogs are in the middle of adolescence, and Max is now busy flexing his newly acquired boy skills!

In short:
Their body is close to adult size, but their brain is still immature—especially for self-control and consistency.

So you may see:

More selective listening or stubbornness
High excitement or distractibility
Occasional return of “puppy-like” behaviour
Testing boundaries, even if training was solid before

This is MAX! A wonderful lad, who just needed the boundaries of life reinforced, while his brain is busy " using the out of office reply!"

This is a normal phase, not bad behaviour—just the brain still finishing its development.
