What kind of dog? Our little darlings (italian greyhouds) have quite the issues. Knowing is not always the issue it can be that the dog is far too smart for its own good, ours will pee on things when they are mad adn be little destructos when they feel they arn't recieving enough love which is almost all the time because if your not scratching there ears then not to state the obvious but in their opinion you are abusing them.
Our littlest darling Issabel well -- we have a gate so they have one room when we are not home + a doggy door to the whole back yard-- well she learned how to jump a 4 foot gate (keep in mind she stands 10" at the shoulder) - and then she jumps back in before we get home. She's smart. I caught her in the act one day, it took a few wierd days though of wondering what on earth was going on when I wasn't home...

Oh also be careful how you scold our babies have feelings. Issabell well when she was little we tried traditional potty training, catch them in the act say no and put them where you want them to go - outside or puppy pad or whatever, well the smart little devil put pooping together with getting in trouble she didn't connect it was okay in areas she just put it together with no - so for about six months she would be all guilty and hide to go the the bathroom - now she's still shy but knows it's about where you go. To teach her it was all about positive reinforcement adn not beating the crap out of her or yelling.

I love my dogs, besides Louie chewing a piece of paper left out or something off the desk, they are great
when they were puppies I wanted to kill them, but they are small guys and I feel bad, I used to get soooooooooo mad at louie, yell and chase him around the house, he was terrified, then I kind of gave up on him figuring he was always going to be one of those problem dogs- then he made a turn-around, I almost think he figured out if he didnt do certain things he got much better treatment and life was good.
They are smarter then you think!
Dino is like a perfect angel, I cant figure him out

You missed a very good thread about Sinful7's fat neck. I don't think it can ever be relived it was so good.
Here's the original image...I can see it's been improved.
