I do it all the time with our Spaniel. You catch him lying down in the hallway, minding his own business, so you start peeking around the corner, hiding when he looks. When he figures out where you're peeking from, you start popping up over the top of the stairs. It all ends in a flurry of barking/tailwagging blur and a rousing game of chase through the bedrooms/office. Granted, he's deaf and we sometimes question his intelligence.
I tried it on Holly as she laid on the dog bed at the end of the hallway upstairs. It didn't work so well. Instead of a flurry it ended with a greyhound standing at the top of the stairway watching me as I crouched on the stairs. She had a "Are you demented or something?" look on her face. If she could talk I'm betting she would have said, "I got up for THIS? Do I LOOK like an idiot Spaniel?"

I'm not sure that it's greyhound v. spaniel. I think it might be retired v. never-worked-a-day-in-his-life. I mean really, what part of "retired" don't you understand, hmmmm??? ;D
