This answered my question; what are the methods for teaching these tricks? According to this site, the puppy's name is important because you'll need it to look at you on any occasion (it's not the same as "come"). It is also recommended to separate the phrases “yes” and “no”. “Yes” means continue doing what you are doing, and “no” means stop what you are doing. Tell the puppy to sit and stay, take five to six steps back, then say "come." It also says to clap, but I don't find clapping helpful, so I just point and that works too. When you say "sit" that means he has to push his butt into the ground until he gets another signal such as "free" which means he can move. “Sit,” then say “free,” then move around the puppy to let him know he can move. Leash walking with a leash three to four feet long is a good way to start. Once the puppy gets used to it, take a few steps in one direction, then turn the other direction and do the same, all in one smooth motion. It is good to make a place outside for the puppy to go potty so he knows where to go and where not to go. In fact, sometimes it's the puppies who choose the location. Socialize him from day one, when you get him, it's best to do this for eight to sixteen weeks. Get the puppy used to as many sounds, movements, people, animals and objects. Allow your puppy to play with other puppies and socialize with adult dogs. This will teach the puppy self-control and good manners..
