| he's bored . ... and ... a "teenager"  |
| maybe he has a dietry deficiency, maybe a chat with your vet may show something up you may be missing. |
| they are opportunists. It worked. It was fun. Mom couldn't stop me. All that equals FUN!!!!!!! Give him something better to do while you are not home. Try a doggy puzzle or hehehe a doggy playmate? |

| I think Danielle and Stephanie are spot on with this one! Dogs are opportunistic and do what works for them. They require both mental and physical exercise and if they don't get it then they will find self rewarding ways to entertain themselves. More interactive games like hide and seek, scavenger hunt, doggie ping pong, tug and Susan Garrett's Crate Games are awesome. These are great ways for working both the brain and the body. Another possibility could be something in the environment (a siren or loud noise etc.) could have spooked the dog and the avoidance/escape mechanicism engaged. It's always a good idea to check with your vet whenever you notice any discernible change in behavior, although this does sound like a "crime of opportunity and innovation". Katherine Smith |
