Terrible Twos?!

Simba is a smart dog. He graduated intermediate training at a very young age and learned to ring a bell to go outside. He also learned all the basic and not so basic commands very quickly. Now, he has started to abuse his intellect. He rings the bell at all hours of the night and he chews on the bed post just to make sure that we are awake and playing with him. There is no way to keep him in a crate because he cries and shuffles the whole time. There is no rest for the wicked! I am hoping that his revenge and rebellious stage ends sooner rather than later.
