A well-behaved dog rarely makes history. Is that so? If you have one of the most naughty dog ​​breeds, your dog is more likely to appear in the Guinness Book of World Records as a prankster. Of course, behavior depends on many factors, such as socialization and training skills. However, Protect My Paws is a research-based website that helps pet parents compare insurance plans, and they want to hear it directly from humans. They check out a lot of Instagram posts with behavior and breed tags to see which dog breeds are the most naughty. Then, they ranked the results. I have to say that the number one most naughty dog ​​breed surprised us! What makes a naughty dog?

Protect My Paws counts posts that contain tags of specific varieties and behaviors. Some popular hashtags include #gooddog, #cleverdog, #baddog, #naughtypuppy, #cheekydog, and #muddydog. They weighed the number of "naughty" tags with the number of "good" tags to understand how each variety performed.

Now, for some people, #muddydog is not a bad dog. Good or bad is absolutely subjective. For example, the most naughty breed (Did Suspense Kill You?) When it comes to invading your space and in need, it is a real criminal. Not necessarily bad, but it must be annoying enough to let everyone know how annoying this dog is. In addition, the share of naughty tags for the number one offender is much higher than the others.

This article is not about the aggressiveness of dogs, it is a different story. If your dog is aggressive towards other animals, people, or family members (or you!), be sure to close your Insta app and quickly go to a veterinarian or professional behaviorist who can diagnose your puppies. The reasons for attacks vary, but they are usually the result of fear, anxiety, or confusion.

A study of thousands of dogs in 2019 found that a dog's genes determine 60% to 70% of certain characteristics. The traits most affected by genetics (that is, their breeds) are trainability, aggressiveness to strangers, prey drive, and need for attention. This is why it is important to really research a breed before adopting or buying a dog! Although the variety cannot predict everything, it can provide you with clues about expectations. When you are training commands, it is certainly helpful to know that your dog may be wary of strangers, especially if you live in a social community with many children.

Protect My Paws also geotagged the Instagram posts they researched. According to this study, more than 87% of Instagram dog posts from South Africa are about naughty puppies, making it the worst-behaving dog in the world. At least the dogs in South Africa have a sense of humor about this. Sophia and Olly are two bulldogs from Stellenbosch in the east of Cape Town. They pretend to die after eating human furniture to escape punishment.

If you want to visit a high concentration of evil wavers, head to Canberra, Australia. 99.74% of the cities with the highest rate of naughty dog ​​breeds! Something tells us that this may be more about the humans behind the training than the animals, but Australia is known for its high-energy, hardworking breeds. You may notice that many of the dogs on our list can be naughty because they become bored or anxious with nothing to do.

If international travel is not your business, but you want to see some naughty dogs in action, go to North Carolina or Kansas. These are the most naughty dog ​​groups in the United States.

Every dog ​​is different and requires a tailor-made training program based on its past, genes and personality. Reward-based training is usually the best approach. Start early and be consistent. Don't be afraid to ask for help from a licensed trainer!

Remember, dogs will "misbehave" with you. Usually, there is a deeper problem at work. A small survey goes a long way.

Surprisingly, the English Springer Spaniel is on the naughty list! We think this may be because they made such a popular family pet. These dogs are bound to enter something, whether it's your child's toy box or a hole in the backyard. Since they are bred for bird hunting, the prey of the English Springer Spaniel drives them into hot water from time to time—especially when they are walking and decide to follow their noses instead of humans.

Activity level: medium to high

Many destructive or grumpy dog ​​breeds are smart people! For smart, furry animals, this must be the case with Keeshonds. Boy oh boy, do these dogs like to meet and say hello? It is possible that their affinity for all people and animals makes their lively personalities more rough and annoying. In some cases, this is great. Be sure to train commands like "come down" and "sit down" so that your Keeshond will not make enemies.

Shedding factor: low to medium

The Welsh Terrier was bred in northern Wales to hunt small animals such as foxes and badgers. It has been around for about 300 years. These energy balls like to meet new people, but are not afraid to guard their homes. Again, this is a breed that will let you know (through torn sofa cushions and scratched floors) that they don't like downtime. The ideal game time for the Welsh Terrier is when the two of you (or the whole family!) throw a ball in the yard.

Crate training and socializing are the keys to a happy and healthy Poochon. A mixed breed developed by breeding Toy Poodles and Bichon Fries, dogs are prone to separation anxiety. They are very kind and get along well with all kinds of people and pets. Poochons just hated himself. The good news is that they have the wisdom of a poodle; training should be easy to do, and the sooner you start, the better. In addition to the need for companionship, dogs can also adapt well to various families and environments.

Activity level: medium to high

What do you get when you add the stubbornness of a Chihuahua to the friendly energy of a pug? Of course it is sudden! Talk about the personality of a big dog stuffed into a small frame. Chugs is definitely the person in charge, and is known to be very territorial. Training for resource protection is a good idea. If the pug’s character dominates your tutu, get ready for a stupid—albeit noisy—life companion.

Perhaps the bristly Vizsla will show a difference from their smooth-coated Vizsla cousin. In the 1930s, Hungarian hunters combined Vizslas and German Wire-haired Hounds to create a dog that is more suitable for cold and wet weather. Today, these dogs are energetic and intelligent people. Boredom comes easily, but they do like to learn commands and thrive in their routines. We think it's easy to forgive bristly Vizslas who exhibit mischievous behavior, especially when they are snuggling by your side at the end of a busy day.

Activity level: medium to high

Cockapoo is considered a design breed that first appeared in the 1960s when breeders combined Cocker Spaniel and Poodle together. The idea is to make a friendly, people-oriented, sweet puppy. To be honest, they did a great job. I like it, that's great. Cockapoos will not leave you alone, as we all know, it will follow you everywhere. Sensitive and interesting, they will personally accept criticism. If your Cockapoo suddenly disappears from sight, they are likely to retaliate by chewing on your sneakers.

Maybe the #muddydog hashtag comes from Mudis who can’t get enough outdoor activities! In fact, their name is pronounced "moodie" and it is quite rare. What is even more impressive is that they broke into the top ten of the naughty list. These loyal dogs raise farm animals in Hungary, which means running and control are their passion. Mudis requires a lot of exercise, so agility and curriculum training are a good way to challenge them physically and mentally.

Activity level: medium to high

Shichons are mixed breed dogs, a combination of Shih Tzus and Bichon Frises. The result is a very cute, energetic and outgoing dog, it likes to be your handheld computer (and your only handheld computer). Shichons are prone to separation anxiety and stubbornness, which may be the source of their mischief. Leaving them alone, unaccompanied or playing regularly may mean that they will show up and chew everything in front of them. Although they are smart, they may need extra coaxing in obedience training.

Dada! The most naughty dog ​​breed ranked number one is the Japanese Spitz. Of course, it looks like they are smiling all the time, but they stand by. They were bred as Japanese companion dogs by German Spitz in the 1920s, and these puppies consider themselves an extension of you. Leaving them at home for too long will definitely cause some damage. One of their good behavioral qualities is the desire to please, so training is usually easy for them. (Well, they are easy to learn. Whether they persist is another matter.) Of all the posts tagged #japanesespitz on Instagram, 86.67% of the posts reported naughty behavior, earning them "protect my paws" The title of "Public Enemy First".
