Paper is a hard one ... it's so much fun! Tink goes after plastic bottles when I step on them to recycle, and she'll fight me for them! As this was becoming dangerous to my feet and hands, I started telling her 'NO' whenever she approached me in the act. Or I did it when she was in another room so I had time to pick up the bottle before she reached me. She still tries occasionally to help with the recyclables, but most the time she ignores it now. Much easier to live with!
I think with paper, tell her 'no' but have a leash handy to put on her, so she can't leave the scene of the crime and to help with discipline. Also I would put as much paper out of her reach as I could. I know with mine if I act serious about something they do that displeases me and I have a zero tolerance, it doesn't take them long to catch on, cause they like their Mommy happy! |
