Training dogs is really easy as long as you're patient with them. As soon as they start losing interest, just do something else. No point in boring your pup and getting frustrated at him!
The easiest way to train them is to associate a word with the desired action. For example, by gently pushing his hindquarters into a sitting position and saying "Sit." you're associating a word to an action. Say it the same way each time, and say only "Sit" not "Sit down" or "get down." One word commands are the easiest for dogs to handle. Don't forget to reward him each time!
Don't force him, though. If he's not into it right now, he will be. You can make training your dog so much fun for the both of you.
There are loads of websites out there with lots of helpful tips for you to use. Just have fun with him. Dogs are the best companions anyone could ask for. They love unquestioningly and loyally.
