nice training. you can train him to go and get the paper. if
you do train him to get the paper teach him a boundary. if the
paper is laying to close to the street you don't want him to get it.
you could also teach him to get the mail. when the mail man comes
i open the front door. my dog goes down the driveway. i tell him
to "stop" or "wait" when he's half way down the driveway. the mail man
pulls up and gathers our mail. then he calls our dog and gives him the mail.
if my neighbor comes out my dog goes back to the mail man and gets their mail
and brings it to her.

when you go shopping put something in a bag for your dog to carry
from the car to your house. once he starts carrying things you can teach him
to get things in house and bring them to you.
