Has this happened to you while MDing:huh:

[Full Metal Digger]

I was MDing at an old farm today and the owner's dog (a BIG chocolate Lab) thinks I am playing with him! Every time I bent over to dig a hole he'd come running up and practically knock me over. He kept grabbing my digger and pinpointer thinking they were toys. I had to literally hold him at arm's length with one hand (with his wagging tail beating me in the face) while I tried to dig with the other. He started laying on top of the holes I was digging! I was trying to move this friendly 80 pound dog off my hole so I could recover the target and he was just licking me and wagging his tail! THEN, after I filled in the plug and tamped it back down, he was digging them back up! :white: HH, Dave.

I bring some Milk Bones w/me and it usually calms the nasty ones and you can get the aggravating ones to back off once in a while.Most aren't trained at all now so it's something new to them.....

I guess the only thing worse would be if he thought you were his girlfriend...lol

I was at my brother in-laws , and his big lab came and started to dig the hole with me , friendly dog ,

me and my son got permission from one of his freinds that had a saint bernard it was a puppy but was over a hundred pounds same thing it would knock you down and it too would dig up the plug the owner was there and just thought it funny boy that dog could dig the holes looked like a land mine went off it was a interesting day to say the least dennis

That is funny.

I've never had that happen while MDing, but have owned Black Labs. You had a stick, a toy, and were digging holes. What's a poor lab to do?

Next time there, take a tennis ball. They love to retrieve them.

I am sure it was frustrating at the time but hearing it now is just hilarious! I am with Al, I hope you got it on video!
