·First a little info. before the crazy morning.
As most of you know Bear is our newest addition... he is about 9 weeks old now. We started bell training with him because I have heard lots of good things about it. My mother in law puppy sat this weekend and she said he rang the bell! BUT he tinkled right by the door... I was excited he knew that is what the bell meant.
Night before last we were getting ready for bed and about to put him in his crate. He was trying to tank up on water, but I don't let him right before bed because we would be taking him out every 20 minutes. WELL he went and rang the bell. My husband was like, well he must need to go out. He took him outside and sat him down.. then he BOLTED to our mother in law's house (she lives behind us on the property. she takes care of the dogs some and has a bowl of water for them on her porch) he KNEW that if he got outside he could get to water! smart little booger!
well now this morning was scary. he usually whines in the morning to be let out. we were woken up by this horrific squealing and barking. so my husband and i both jump out of bed and run down the hall. Bear had gotten his paw stuck in the door of his crate! we have the black wire collapsible crates. He had stuck his paw between the bars then moved it down toward the latch and gotten it stuck. He was chewing on the door thinking it would help him get out. My heart hurt so bad for him because he would try to move it and would just squeal. My husband removed the whole door and we FINALLY got him unstuck. I thought oh no he is going to be hurt to bad! NOPE! He got up and hopped around wagging his tail... he was free so he was happy! My husband thinks that he KNOWS how we open the crate and so he was trying to get to that latch. From how fast he is catching on to everything else I wouldnt put it past him.
He rigged up the crate after I left for work so he couldn't get his paw inbetween that part again. But I just can't get over how fast this puppy is learning things!
