If you go camping out in the snow and the dog will not come inside the tent or cabin, it wants to sleepout in the COLD snow

If you bring your dog with you to a neighbors house, you turn and notice the dogs gone, then after a thoroughsearch of the neighborhood you come home to find the dogpanting heavily laying next to the water dish waiting for you with a HUGE grinon its face
If at 6 in the morning after you wake up you hear them playing outside ever so quietly, then as soon as they realizeyou are awake they really start roughing each other up, as as soon as they see you peek out of the curtain all activity ceases and they come running to the window or they go lay down to rest (next time peek more carefully)
If you look into the dog yard and see an empty yard, you open the back door to see if they are still inthe yard, still nothing, then you simply rattle a food wrapper and they come out of the woodwork like a freight train
When your dogs periodically plan andstage a yard breakoutand make all necessary preparations overnight,and promptly execute the plan in the morning 5 minutes before your alarm clock goes off when you are most vulnerable from not being ableto stop them, then you spend the next halfhour rallying them up.
