My first Dog was a Labrador! She would eat anything, socks, paper, crayons, and also get in the trash! I saw some trick on TV to keep them out of the trash! Spray Clorox bleach on things she would get into! I knew better- "That wouldn't stop THIS Dog!" I poured some bleach on my hands and she licked it right off! At three years old, she finally outgrew chewing, and getting in the trash! Never had that kind of trouble with any of the Rottweilers!
