It really depends on what motivates your dog. Some dogs can be rewarded with praise, squeaky toys, or treats. If you use treats, fine something that is tiny and easy to handle during training. Plus you don't want to overfeed. If you use quite a bit of treats during training, cut back a bit on one of the dog's regular meals. I try to enroll my dogs in a basic manners class, its a good bonding exercise for you and your dog and teaches you some good training tips.
