Obedience training is the foundation for establishing a better relationship between you and your dog. Obedience training helps establish the owner in the role of "pack leader". Obedience will lay down clear behavior guidelines that your dog can follow. A well-behaved, obedient dog is more than just a pet of pride. The difference lies largely in the training, and good training can save a dog’s life.
These articles will give you tips about how to best train your dog.

You may train any dog, or cat by using treats. But make sure the word you are using, as in "sit" or "lay" only one person should try to teach the animal till it is comfortable with doing this command. If you have too many people trying to teach the dog, it may become confused. But what kind of tricks do you plan on teaching??
like i said, simple commands
you can also work up to harder commands too. and try to do tricks often to keep the trick your dog has just learned fresh.
anything is possible with some treats, because every dog and cat needs a motivation.

To take care of a dog, first you need to know what specific dog you want to know about, because different dogs need different care, as for dog tricks, you need to be persistent do not say "bad" or be harsh when the dog doesn’t get it right the first time, use a kind but firm voice you don’t want to scare the dog but show it that you are the boss. never shout at the dog instead correct him/her. Let me know what kind of dog and i will give you care tips.

For teaching an animal tricks, I prefer not to use treats, but to use lots of praise, since sometimes treats aren’t readily available, but praise is always available. I learned this from my husband, who teaches obedience classes for dogs. The trick is to make sure when your dog does something wrong, you correct it quickly. You also praise it as soon as it does something right. Once in a while you can use treats, but it’s better to get your dog to respond without treats. As for dog care, take it to the vet for all of it’s shots and medication as needed. Flea, heartworm, vaccinations..etc. Try not to give it table food. Some people give their dogs chicken, which is ok, but for me, I stick to dog food that has been formulated especially for dogs. Make sure your dog gets the proper amount of exercise. Give your dog lots of care and attention and most of all, LOVE!

I Strongly suggest using a whistle (either a metal one of just use your mouth) for your attention command and your come command.
reason- I take my two Red Healers to the dog park a lot. while at the park there are many owners that scream "come" or the dogs name over and over again.. I use the my mouth to whistle and the tone can carry over the barking and yelling of the environment. also nine times out of ten you are the only one who will be whistling..
good luck. and have fun… tranning is SO worth it, just to see the look on other peoples faces when they see an obedient dog and an awesome owner.
