I'm quite lucky with my dog if she was a bin raider she doesn't have a big enough brain to be able to figure it out. I've trained her mostly by what she will do already so she does know quite a lot of tricks but only by that method

Bruce is a compulsive Bin Raider! I might be able to train him to walk to heal but I will never train him to leave the bin!
I tend to grab him by his haunches and pull him back out of the bin and then pick all the rubbish back up and tell him off. And that's what happens two or three times a day.
I am going to get a lockable bin but the one I want was over £50 and I can't afford it yet!

Argos had the simplehuman one in quite reasonably priced when I got ours - had to order it into the store using their online facility but it was definitely less than £50... granted he cracked it pretty quickly, but still!

When I started to read this - I though "Argos" what a great name for a dog! But I read on and its not about the dog

I thought there was a famous Greek dog called "Argus"? I always fancied that as a name but thought people might confuse it with that horrible shop "Argos"! (sorry-I hate Argos)
