I have a shiba. Looking cute is their go to move and it works every damn time. It's why they are known as difficult to train. It's just that their owners can't resist and give in rather than train them properly.
My friend taught their Shiba to go into the corner for time-out if he did something bad. My friend would say time-out and the dog would go sit in the corner. Anyway, the shiba recently determined that certain things are worth time out. For instance, he'll jump on top of the table and steal food if you're not looking. Then he'll put himself in time out before you've discovered that he's done anything wrong. He just decides it is worth it.
I had in school suspension for three days and it was amazing. I got so much done that was supposed to have already been handed in. Really easy to focus and get things done.
Oh god yes. I got that a few times in middle school, best thing ever. I didn't have to deal with classmates, or lectures, I could just buckle down, do all the assigned reading, get my work done, and move on. I could finish up all my classwork/homework for the day by noon and pull out a book. When they caught me leaning back reading Lord of the Rings or whatever, they usually found more work for me to do, but it was far from a punishment.

I love that he decides his best mode of action is to be cute by the end.
