Maybe it doesn't understand why it's in the garage and doesn't like it....no offense. I've had dogs all my life. I had an Elkhound once. Same thing, smart. I trained all my dogs so just a hand signal to sit, stay, quiet, down, etc.  But it ate everything. It wouldn't stop. A bag or Oreos. A bag of marshmallows. Socks. Bones. The living room carpet. The corner wall. Half of a 5' CHRISTMAS TREE...I kid you not. It ate a lot of the wooden baby gate to keep it confined. Used to run it every day. No luck. He went down the road to a guy that wanted him. I had to give up. Never did hear what happened to him. 

Oh it knows why it's in the garage.....to stay warm, eat, tear stuff up. It can go in and out by itself. I just think it's one of " them" dogs. One good thing is that it's seemed to add some pep to the older dog. She's the first to let you know if something "strange" is going on. If some one would try to break in at least I know she would lick them to death. The cops would just have to look for the dirtbag that looked all prune like!

Have you tired one of them there Dog training classes? After you go to it, I would bring the Dog!

Training certainly is not the issue.  He's smart and well trained.  However, just like some smart people, some smart dogs still just want to be jerks sometimes.
