Sign up for training, either individual training or you can do a class through most counties.

If you have money and not enough time than you might want a trainer....but if you do have time for your dog.....than when they do something bad, tell them NO. and give them a LITTLE slap on the bottom with a newspaper or something. It's not mean. It just reminds them not to do what they did bad, next time.
And if they do something right give them either a treat, OR throw a ball for him/her to get, dogs LOVE attention and playing ball is a great way to get it.

lots of patience! you will have to work with your pup several times a day making him sit or stay on command or with hand signals. with sit,push his back end down and say sit. and make him do it,and with stay sit him down and walk to the other side of the room making sure he is still in the same spot you put him in.repeat and push his back end over down and over until he knows. make sure you praise and treat him good.keep your hand up for stay and point down for sit.once he knows you will be able to teach him a lot of things and doing what he is told will protect him also.try teaching one thing at a time so he won't get confused.. never hit him or you will scare him. show lots of love and he will be your best friend and companion. best of luck.

You can go to pet training, and you can go to the library to check out books or tapes by Ian Dunbar, Turid Rugaas, ... and and books that have 'positive training' in the title...

Train it, and learn it's behavioral patterns.

don't reward when the trick hasn't been done correctly and the first time you ask.
