It’s most likely that dogs/wolves just kept eating our waste, staying close to us, and after initial fights humans noticed the dogs/wolves are not being a threat, thus letting them do their thing and observing them.
Then humans eventually figured out that by observing dogs and their reactions, they could see if dogs smelled/heard something which they couldn’t. And then started to exploit that.
You may wanna edit this to say trash, it sounds like you’re saying wolves followed us around eating our shit, which afaik isn’t a theory for dog domestication.
That is mostly how it works now; words change meaning. Nobody I know says ‘trash can’, it’s ‘garbage can’. But yeah, they originally meant different things

Technically garbage rather than trash, if we’re being pedantic
I always thought us up here in America’s hat called it garbage, and those guys down in Canada’s shorts called it trash.
I’m 31 and just googled the difference. Ohh fiuuuuuuuuuuck!

I’ve begun to love finding out old meanings and origins to words, so this one kinda tickled me. I find it interesting too
