he would be fully trained if you didn't need the paper anymore. I'm not saying that my dogs (or myself) are perfect. far from it infact. but if you still have to "threaten" (I use that term loosly) him with the paper, then he doesn't think, "I'm not allowed to be in the garbage." instead he thinks, "I don't want to get hit." being able to say NO and having them not go near it, that's what being trained is. not them being afraid of the newspaper so they won't do it.
I'm sorry. if that's how you feel dogs should be trained than so be it. I disagree with you, but I'm not you. I don't condone any type of violence (yes, I consider any form of hitting to be violence). especially when used on an animal.
