First I want to apologize for the dusty air vent in the background. Omg, I didn't realize it was that bad until I started taking the pictures so I stopped and dusted it in the middle of the pics. Embarrassing... lol All better.

Anyways, the tennis ball was being annoying so I put the tennis ball timeout. Here is the result. Although I missed a shot of her dragging the kennel by her teeth. :yikes:

A couple attempts at rolling the ball through the wires.

She's smart. Too smart. I'd be worried.

Awwwe .... smart girl! You could put that to use and teach her to open things and bring items to you .... like a hair brush in a drawer ... etc .... for fun or for a good purpose !

 

[momtolabs]

She is very smart!! My neighbors Border collie could open the front door and would get out and come visit me.

OMG. You are in big trouble! Tennis balls go in time out in the locking (from the inside) cabinet at my house.

LOL - that is priceless! Such a smart girl. I can see her staging a break by getting the other dogs out of their crates and running for it.

 

[Spirit_of_Cotons]

That is one smart Papillon! She deserves her ball after that, good girl!

 

[NozOnyCalAur]

Too cute! That is the problem with putting the toys in timeout, they usually get a jail break.

Oh dear. I think we're in for a spot of trouble now...

LOL already done that once! Albeit the dogs were in an x-pen. She did that for a while until I figured out how she was busting them all out because she wasn't using the gate.

She also locked Summer in a crate once. I still haven't figured out if it was on purpose or not, but it was hilarious. I saw it out of the corner of my eye in the mirror. Summer walked in and the second she did, Mia shut that door on her. Then Summer was crying because it had latched shut and she couldn't get out. I about died.

In all seriousness even if you do put them in a cabinet that she can't open she will try to dig her way out. If you put it out of reach she will do everything she can to try to figure out how to reach it (and whine the entire time too). Anything for a tennis ball.

That's the worst! Luckily Colby knows that once the ball is put away the game's over...every once in a while she'll sit next to the closet where we keep the Frisbee (she sits with her butt up on the steps) and will look at me and bark. Like, "See mom? I'm doing that stupid trick dad taught me. Let's go play!"

Once the dog figures out doors, you're toast. Trust me, I know.

(Also, good to see I'm not the only one who records "bad" behavior for posterity instead of dealing with it. Hence my 200 pictures of Kabota doing things he really shouldn't. What can I say, he's too cute!)

Haha!! Benji does that too!!!

He let my friends dog out once that we crated because he was being too rough with Benji and we had to work on something. Since I can't crate Benji because he escapes we crated my friends Bulldog...

Apparently Benji wanted to keep playing and let him right out!
