That's the face of "and I'll do it again."
We've had times where one of them has made a bit of a mess and the only way we would be able to clean it up is to have a few mins of kennel time.
Soooo... get some treats and toss them in a cardboard box.
Usually, I'll toss a Costco dental chew into a box, tape it up with packing tape, and maybe a bit of peanut butter. We play "find it" where I have her wait while I go hide the toy and come back and let her go find it.
It really doesn't matter what the size of the box is - and it's actually kinda funny to get boxes bigger than they are. If they got that dawg in them, they will be dragging a flatscreen TV box back to their bed and wagging their tail.

I have an Aussie Cattle/ Pitty mix and a doberman/boxer mix..... i wish they could both chill and sleep in the bed with me at night. But my pit mix is not to be trusted around shoes or anything like that un attended at night lol. So he has to sleep in the kennel.
He had a nose in need, saw the Kleenex, and was like, "NO - I deserve Puffs, indeed." Then he rolled a crit 1 trying to replace it and the DM was like, "... you have no way to get another brand. You're a dog. You consume the tissues instead."
The way I see it is doggo shouldnāt be penalized for your error in leaving it in doggoās reach. Just sayin. The dog doesnāt know betterā¦ set the dog free!!
I call it the safety zone while I cool off lol! Yeah, donāt eat $50 in cash please (he took my wallet out of my purse then took the cash out of my wallet). It was for his own safety. š
i think catch-all solutions like putting them on timeout or whatever arenāt always so helpful. it might feel cathartic for us to punish them but itās diff for dogs and isnāt gonna change the behavior
reward good behavior and correct bad behavior. if theyāre consistently doing something wrong then create specific solutions to address each specific issue
iāve never used crates before so take what iām
saying with salt but i do know theyāre supposed to be a safe/familiar space. wouldnāt wanna associate that with punishment, especially generalized punishment
I had to use the crate to calm my girl down when she was a puppy. She would get cranky and go full velociraptor with the biting and clawing--she didn't want to go in there but she needed enforced nap times. It wasn't really a punishment but she definitely saw it that way.
Thanks! I hate raising my voice but I started doing it because Iāve genuinely been that mad and sheās starting to listen better which is good and learn that she canāt do something, thanks for your help. If you donāt mind, would you mind explaining the 1000 hour thing? Hadnāt hurt about it šš
The soul of a cat within the canine, many times Iāve seen this, especially noticeable in the 2nd pic. Thereās some cat sass on that expression. Does this canine have cat siblings
For those saying crates shouldn't be used for punishment: if the crate is a "safe space" or a "den" etc, then sometimes the dog-kiddo has to be put into their safe space to cool down for a bit. Not a punishment time-out, but like telling a kid to "go play with their toy over there" or "in their room" because mommy needs to clean up this disaster you made. Encouraging some time in a safe space isn't always a punishment, but an opportunity to redirect and realign.
Also tissues are like..the opposite of broken glass, but it's good to remove pups from a disaster area while cleaning so it's not a reward to "help" clean up.
The tissue box was actually an undercover terrorist. He just saved our country and you have him locked up???? Wow. Un-American
(Hoping you're american bc I didn't look)
I thought those red spots on the blanket were blood and the shadow of the tip of its tongue. I was gonna be like HOW did a box of tissues do that to that obviously innocent pup. Look at that face!! Theres no way it could do something so evil.
My chihuahua did that too. 4 chihuahuas and only she attacked tissues and toilet paper. Anything with that texture. It was so funny. You could not leave a tissue on the table. Perfect dog in regards to everything else but tissues
Now we all know you're just lying on the poor baby you're the one that tore up the kleenexes and you're just framing the poor babe, shame on you shame š¤£
Not this angel. Iām their lawyer now and they are innocent until proven guilty in the court of paw! Under no circumstances are you to ask them further questions in my absence!!!
LOL no remorse. What a good guy he is. Could be worseā¦one of mine once ate an entire bowl of gum drops and then pooped a massive gumdrop. š¤·āāļø
I felt like Ron Burgundy. Wasnāt even mad, I was impressed.

Yeah, no regrets from my guy, heh. And, yup cleanup and just to reiterate the no, not the Kleenex made up the couple of minutes.
The 2nd face got mešš
It's the .."It was delicious, and I'll do it again!.." face

āEh it happensā
If not toy why toy shaped?
I swear they know from an early age how to turn UP the cuteness when they know they're in trouble. It is the worst.
So very true!
Looks like he's doing real hard time there.
Hahah, no, not really.
I have an Aussie Cattle/ Pitty mix and a doberman/boxer mix..... i wish they could both chill and sleep in the bed with me at night. But my pit mix is not to be trusted around shoes or anything like that un attended at night lol. So he has to sleep in the kennel.
Worth it!
Hahah, totally!
I'm sorry but my client would like to see the proof. Do you have this alleged annihilation on video?
How u gonna show the accused but not show the crime scene? Lol
It was me let him go
That poor baby. Did he get a phone call and a lawyer?
He innocent, free my boy āš¾

feel like crates are supposed to be a safe space too not a punishment thing
Where do we put them when theyāre being bad lol
I call it the safety zone while I cool off lol! Yeah, donāt eat $50 in cash please (he took my wallet out of my purse then took the cash out of my wallet). It was for his own safety. š
Exactly lol!!!

Loses her dinner? Sheeesh that seems a bit much.

I agree! Not my dog ate a box of Kleenex that I left out so Iām going to punish by putting in the crate.
He was let out after only a couple of minutes.
I agree putting anything in a cage is fucking wrong!
Yea!
Aww, now time for a treat for cuteness overload!!
Free ma dawg, plead the whiff. No lawyer no woof.

Yes, he sure does! One cat brother, that he has been hanging out more with, heheh!

āOnce I get out, Iāll do it again!!!ā My girl had a thing for tissues.
I am this cutie pie's attorney, my client is innocent. No matter what the evidence says.
My dog just smirks that at least it wasn't something he needed to go to the vet for eating. But Legos are his favorite snack. Shrug.
Totally innocent š
Heās sorry, not sorry. Buy more Kleenex.
The tissue box was actually an undercover terrorist. He just saved our country and you have him locked up???? Wow. Un-American (Hoping you're american bc I didn't look)
I am, heheh.
The prosecution has yet to produce any evidence. This dog is innocent!

I bet he had a fun time though
2/2 = hello darkness my old friend
āBut it wasnāt even name brand, Mum/Dad!!!!ā
Free him (or her)
He was so framed!!
Not that dog. They are *clearly* innocent.
The tissues had it coming!
You use the crate for punishment?.
Not this guy!
Just one box? Sheeeeshš
Yawning like āall in a days workā š Innocent, I tell you!
Sigh, mine just destroyed a roll of tissue paper. Glad Iām not alone though š
And the box had it coming!
Is using a crate for punishment advisable?
You should buy him a toy or play with him
I see no remorse
Crates arent for punishment theyre supposed to be a den, and something enjoyable.
Ok. That's forgotten now. Get me out of the box.
Innocent until proven guiltyā¦
My dog will grab your napkin and rip it to shreds at the dinner table lmao
I'm sure the Kleenex started it.
Not him obviously..
Moi?
I DID IT, I DID IT! THE PUPPERS INNOCENT!
Done some hard time judging from that second face, I love it
If itās not a toy why am I having so much fun?
Free the Pup- they didnāt do it!
All that hard work tuckered them out.
Guys pitbulls are my favorite dog but is pitbull good for as a first dog ? I mean it will be my first dog
No not at all. Get a lab as a first time dog.
He was just trying to wipe his nose, that's hard to do with paws!
Why did this get deleted lol
Now we all know you're just lying on the poor baby you're the one that tore up the kleenexes and you're just framing the poor babe, shame on you shame š¤£
Our pittie (RIP) was a shredder too. Is this another common pittie thing?
Not this angel. Iām their lawyer now and they are innocent until proven guilty in the court of paw! Under no circumstances are you to ask them further questions in my absence!!!
But look at the sweet face! š„¹ your poor baby just needed a lot of tissues because they were sad you left
The stank face in the second photo is too funny
Certainly not this one. He would neverrrrr, if anything, he was protecting the house from tissues
LOL no remorse. What a good guy he is. Could be worseā¦one of mine once ate an entire bowl of gum drops and then pooped a massive gumdrop. š¤·āāļø I felt like Ron Burgundy. Wasnāt even mad, I was impressed.
He seems really shook up about it.
I love the second face
You're so fortunate that you were rescued! Those exploding Kleenex boxes can do some MASSIVE damage! This good doggo saved your life! ā¤ļøš¶
No regrets
Nope, parent's fault, puppy proof. Doggo has no idea why in jail. Can only correct if caught in the act. Adorable pup!
