Mine are small and have definitely gotten a few accidental shin pushes when I’m walking and the cut right in front of me. I feel bad every time because they just look up at me with those big puppy eyes.

One of our dogs loves to walk in front of you and stop short, or just try to herd you and impede your progress as much as possible. My husband has tripped and fallen over her three times recently. At least I hope that’s all it is.

I told my dog last night, "I'm changing your name to 'Velcro' as you seem to be stuck to me like glue all the time..." He didn't say anything back....

All the time, especially in the kitchen.

I've been told this is a form of "passive dominance". There are also ways humans can assert passive dominance such as making them sit before and after going outside and before they are served food. This sit command tells them that all good things come through the owner.

Our dogs are pretty good but I notice they listen a lot better the last two weeks after making them sit for food, walks, outdoors, etc...

Got to be close to their herd, I guess. Our's was the same way. Like to stand beside you and lean on your leg.

I rarely trip over my dog but she steps on my feet all the time. She is 65 lbs and it hurts.

I have 3 kids, 3 dogs, and 2 cats in a 2k sqft house.

I cannot get from point A to point B without someone/something in my way.

Constantly.

The 7 year old lab positions himself directly in front of the stove anytime I'm cooking anything. And year old smaller lab is like a landshark and constantly is moving in and out of your blind spot. I assume he's TRYING to trip me any time I am carrying any type of food.

Buncha dicks...

My wife does a couple of times a day. We have one dog who basically follows her footsteps every minute.

Every time I cook, I have 2 lazy arse beagles laying in the kitchen floor waiting for something to drop.

Pet stays outside 100% of the time so I never come close to tripping over them.

Mine has 3 main spots. Under the dining room table out of the way, one in the doorframe of my bedroom and bathroom (good luck going to the bathroom at night in the dark), and the third is in front of the fridge. And no she doesn’t move when you need a cold beer, but she doesn’t mind being slid over

Got a 12 year old lab that loves to do this. I almost tripped over her and fell face forward with my 2 year old daughter in my arms the other day. I caught myself, but if I hadn't, she might've taken a early trip to the pearly gates.

My female bulldog is 75 pounds, wide and very low center of gravity. When you trip over her, there's no give and you've got a good chance of going to the ground.

It makes me irrationally angry when I step on/trip over my pets when they do this.

Our two kittens attempt to kill us every day. The basement stairs is where you really need to watch out.
