Treat him with respect and love, so that his only thought is to keep you happy with him.

A dog is eager to please when he anticipates a favourable response. If experience has shown him that if he does what you ask, the outcome is very positive, he will feel motivated to continue.
Make sure your praise is never half-hearted, as dogs don't care what words come out of your mouth as much as the emotion behind those words. Say, "Good boy!!!" with as much enthusiasm as you can muster. Be very excited and GENUINE when his response is favourable. You can offer a small "treat" reward about 20% of the time, but the focus should be affectionate praise.
Don't rely on correction to train your dog. Positive reinforcement will go much further. For example, if teaching your dog "stay", don't remain silent until he moves and then correct him... start by praising him for "staying" for 3 seconds! and gradually extend that time. He will be more moved to do what you ask, than to avoid what you "correct".
Training that is a positive experience and founded in PRAISE will take time and patience, but will be well worth it in the end, when your dog is motivated and eager to please and not simply avoiding a negative reaction. His trust in you will be strong and he will be a much happier dog too!

It takes alot of patience, hard work and perseverence (and oh so very many dog treats). Since you're asking alot, you'd best invest in a training manual, possibly one for stage-dogs or police dogs. You will need to have your dog assosiate every command you give him with getting food. If you want him to get your slippers, put food on the slippers, then give him food and praise when he brings them over (like fetch, really). You won't get him to do anything you cammand him for a very long time. If you want him to get stuff out of your fridge, expect him to open it willy nilly for a while, never try and teach him to do anything contrary to dog behavior unless you're a trained handler.

If you want to have your dog obey every command you give, other than giving your dog treats, is to reward your dog with love and praise.

Probably only in your imagination. Dogs do not obey EVERY command given them, no matter who gives the command.

You start off when they are at least 5 to 6 weeks old and then start an intensive trainging schedule and put the Dog into the atmosphere to know that School has started not play.
In time after three months your Dog is gong to show you what your hard work has done and it pays off.

You'd have to train him; tell him simple commands, and when he does what you tell him to do, give him a treat and congratualate him; he'll go like "hey, I can get a nice yummy treat from dong that...if he says that again, i'll do it"

You need to be calm & assertive. A dog needs to be trained, it takes time and patience and a good teaching technique.
