You will find heaps of training info here. The key is not to expect results immediately. Each dog will learn at a different pace, with different reward incentives. For some dogs it will be treats, while others a good pat on the head is sufficient.
Find your dog's motivator... what gets it's full attention.
Dogs learn best by repetition and reward systems. You need to repeat the task, and reward it several times before it is burned into their memory.
Learning is associative for dogs. Meaning they learn by "When I do this, I get something good".
Eventually you won't have to give it treats every time it does something good, it instinctively knows that it is doing a good thing. But it never hurts to remind them. At 8 years of age, Loki still looks at me when she goes pee outside, and I still say "Goooood Girl!"
