There are many things I want to train my dog to do basics of course( sit stay ect) but also to be a guard and also to only take food when given to him by me or my husband and not to take it from strangers or off of the ground a local dog was poisoned fom eating meat thrown into his yard that had rat poison in it. And the owners cant prove who did it and I dont want this for my dog he is very shy and timid any advice would be appreciated

You can use the word command of no or leave it if your dog attempts to eat something he is not supposed to.

i took a dog training class. and they had a take a soft treat and hold it above its head and move it backwards (towards its tail) slowly and it sits (say sit down or w/e). then put it on the ground (still in your hand) and shove it towards its feet and he'll lay. and when hes sitting take afew steps back and say stay and only reward him wen he doesnt follow you.
