Because I have crate trained my dog, whenever I get mad at her, I merely hold out my arm with my finger pointed in the direction of her crate and say, “Go to your box!”
She quickly runs into her box and that’s it.
It finally occurred to me that maybe I should have just crate trained my kids.

Now THERES a thought!!
Oh but just LOOK at those little cherub faces! Pure preciousness!
Well, if that works for you, can you tell me how, so I can try it on my teenagers. Love those faces!!!
Your son has that cross-eyed thing down to an art!
As for the crate thought…Nah! They can still whine.
Just send ‘em to a grandparent or a camp somewhere. It uses up more energy, then they might sleep for a bit when they come home.
Well said!
Let me know how that works for you… is it too late when they are teenagers?
Where can I get me some crates….haha!
They’re a hoot! Crates for kids. . .sort of a nice idea. It could be padded or something so it’s really humane.
Let me know how that goes.
How about the hubby?
You snooze, you lose!!!
Ha! I laughed out loud at this. Our boys like to play in the dog crate, and sometimes we joke about just shutting them in!!
