Foot Pedals

Will Boxers use the foot pedals on trash containers to open them up? I have a foot operated trash can, and I am wondering if the dog will learn to get into it. I also have a foot operated sink faucet, I hope he stays away from that, or we're gonna have high water bills!

I dare say it all depends on your dog. I have heard of dogs that can open those trash cans. I have never heard of a foot operated sink faucet.

Thanks, Jan. I want a smart dog, but hopefully one that won't operate foot pedals.
It's fantastic having a foot pedal for the kitchen faucet. You can see what I mean at:

How interesting. I can certainly see how having a foot operated sink faucet, could be very useful. Somehow I doubt your dog would use it, but I guess he could step on it by accident.

I've always had my garbage under the sink, so it has never been an issue with the dogs. I did get a covered garbage container in the bathroom, as Markus was getting into it a removing embarassing things.
