I simply love that nowhere in your post do you say " this is driving me crazy". I even love that you think it's cute, because I think it's so adorable that I'd like to see a video of it. I realize they have to be outsmarted for their own safety but at the same time....ya gotta appreciate the darn orgininality of their tactics. I teach behavior modification to young parents of little ones who are in need of some boundaries and then I come home and pour over my dog books in order to somehow, someway, keep from becoming "Ponnochio" and my darling Yorkie from becoming my "Geppeto".
