Crate training your CSV?

So true! When Lorka was a pup, she used to drag things to our bed and hide them neatly All sort of things, from her toys to other 'treasures'. Once I found under my pillow a box of unbroken (!) eggs , which was quite an achievement for the 'little devil'.

It's true what Ina and Mijke write about determination of the pack leaders when introducing home rules.
We've noticed incredible empathy in our both CSV pups. They were relatively patient when we went to work and they HAD TO stay on their own crated (or uncrated), but they used to 'cry' or mess around when we just went out socially!

Our oldest female, now 12 years old, still hides everything that´s valuable to her in my bed. She never hides it in the bed of Michael, obviously she thinks he will eat it. When she was much younger she also did pack in her chewing bones into our travelling backs when we were packing and she did this very tidily, she would clap away the clothes, put her bone to the bottom and put the clothes back in place. We only realised she planned to travel with us when she got nervous if anybody got close to the luggage.
She also likes to join in when we go out for dinner - and she always knows, no matter what we do - and gets very annoyed when she isn´t allowed to, these were the only occasions when she emptied the dustbin all over the place.

Funny, Tina did exactly the same! Leszek once travelled to Alaska with many stopovers and on collecting his luggage at the destination airport realized it smelled really badly...

Such a nice dog! After this long travel he didn´t have to look out for a place for dinner!
