The way it was worded with the word "threaten" I assumed it was a newspaper spanking.
(Quote: "I typically have to threaten him with "butt paper" (he understands that word well) for him to react.") In the "old days" that is how people trained dogs. It only made them afraid of you instead of wanting to obey. But that's OK, when you know better, you do better. Positive training works!
