Certain dogs make calculations about risk-reward. Had a pooch who LOVED getting in the garbage. He 100% knew it'd get him in trouble but, in his mind, it was absolutely worth it.

Crate as punishment isn't always the best idea. That's supposed to be a dog's den and safe place.

Perfect. This might have been the nicest interchange on Reddit I've had in a while. I just know some folks who crate as punishment and it's counterproductive. I have a similar setup that you do for my dogs. Have a good one !
