The Basics in Training: 

1.  When teaching a dog a new command, praise the dog every time he gives a correct response (even if assisted).   A proper praise may be food+physical praise+verbal praise or toy+physical praise +verbal praise. 

2.  If the dog knows a command, but blows you off, give the dog a correction.  

3.  Play with the dog.  Before I ever start training, I go and throw a toy with a dog for a while to build a good rapport with the dog.  The dog learns much faster if he desires to please you.    Ideally, I spend the first day without giving the dog a command (although, I might say "fetch" and "come-here" when playing fetch).
