Ralph: Wally can hear a potato chip fall on the carpet. He can hear the mail carrier coming from a block away... But he can't hear me yell "Wally, stop it!!"
Wally: Did somebody say something?
My dachshund never gets in the trash. Pretty much all she does is lay on the couch under a throw. Or in a chair behind a pillow. Or on the bed under a blanket. I think you see where this is going . . .
Putting him in his crate for bad behavior is not a good idea. He needs a place for punishment and a safe place(crate). Confuse the issue and you will have an even more neurotic dog.

And he can hear badgers at the door even when there are no badgers within a hundred miles.

We got another rescue last month, she’s the only one of our four who can hear me without my having to yell.

grab him by the scruff and repeat NO. Then put him in his crate.

It’s called selective hearing and all dogs have it a genetic trait
