Red face How do i teach a puppy to take treats/rewards gently instead of grabbing them

I'm a bit stuck here. i know it can be done, but i've looked in dog training books in the library, and in some that i already have, and there isn't anything on it. what do you do. i know dogs that snap at your hand to get a reward as soon as they can, but there was this lovely little black labrador X collie called Skippy who would wait until the treat/reward was just next to her mouth, and that she would very gently almost lick it off your hand. she was so lovely!!!!

but i'm getting a puppy in a few days, and need every little scrap of info, so glad if anyone can help

thaaaankyooouuu!!!!!!!!
