You are right MissingPieces. That IS why they keep the older threads open. The answers just may help out someone else other than the OP. My dog ripped open garbage for the first time since I've had her, today! I can usually have a bag of her fave treats right within her reach, and she won't touch them until I give them to her. I haven't been feeling well lately, and there has been a lot of chaos going on, and she's been a little ignored. So, she obviously got bored, and decided to get herself some negative attention.
She needs to get back to her regular routine right away, and get more exercise, disipline, and affection, before this becomes a bad habit. It's not her fault that she got into the garbage, it's mine, and up to me to correct it. She's a well behaved girl, and I want to keep it that way, and I know when dogs don't get enough regular exercise to drain their energy, they start acting out, just like a child with no activities would do.
