Never teach tricks. Allow built in instincts to come to surface.

Talk to them in question form. You want outside, You hungry, WHAT DID YOU DO?, etc. Then praise for the simple things.

from pups play with them, pick them up, dance a bit and share the couch.

when danger is perceived, they will do what they know to do.

acclimate to neighbors and socialize whenever possible.

You can teach them nasty stuff if you need to. I would in today's environment.

Between ages 2 and 3 they will test pack hierarchy. They must know you are alpha.

Free feed should be always available even after you have made a breakfast or dinner. Don't allow play after bulk feeding.

If they want on the bed, provide a space for them with their personal pad. Otherwise, they will sleep between you and your sig/other.
