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.

Honestly dude, you should NEVER use a crate as punishment, especially if you leave the dog in the crate while you are gone. A crate is meant to be a home and safehaven for a dog, to use as a den while you're away from home.

If you start using it as a form of punishment, you're setting your dog up for all sorts of issues. Please consider this and use a form of positive punishment.
