[QUOTE="skeeter, post: 267315, member: 439"] My were all crate trained. As with Ace, they use it not just by my command, but when they want to "get away" from everything. One of mine would also "punish" himself when he did something wrong. Used to drive me nuts to come home and find Porky in the crate, when I didn't put him there when we left. I would then have to go through the house to figure out what he had done. Porky was also a vacuum. By that I mean, given the chance, he would eat anything. He ate skeleton keys. He ate the ex's tie tack - 5 times (don't ask why it was somewhere the dog could get it after the first time). He ate a cassette tape - I mean the entire tape, case, etc. It came out whole. It got to the point I didn't just "clean up" the yard, I would have to hose it to see if there was anything valuable out there. But he never got in the garbage or things like that. We currently have the world's dumbest boxer. Wyley has always been somewhat "slow" - in fact (and I mean no disrespect by this) we swear if there is Down's in dogs - he's got it. He's big, he's extremely lovable, but you can tell that thoughts just don't always connect in him. Every day for the past 8 years (we adopted him when he was 3) he's walked into the piano leg. The piano hasn't moved. He's now over 11 and getting senile - so what little brain function he did have is slowly going away. He will walk into a room and you can tell, he has NO idea why. He'll just stand there for 5 minutes or so with this completely blank look on his face - then give up and lay down. [/QUOTE]
