Answer
You need to get basic control of your dog.  There are many ways to establish leadership but mainly you have to mean what you say.  Your dog should go through proper lead training and learn subordinate positioning.  By using a lead training such as my whisper string you can gain control of your dog and he will learn to honor and respect you.  Here are some simple techniques to help do this.  Always make the dog wait for you to pass through a doorway before allowing it to.  Always feed yourself first and let the dog see that you're eating before you feed it.  Never allow the dog into your personal space until invited. When walking always have control of your dog either by making it walk behind you or honor the lead and keep slack in it without pulling.  The quickest and easiest way to accomplish what you are looking for is to use the "One, Two, Good Dog!" protocol with your preferred training method or adapt the methods used in the booklet.  Quit spoiling your dog until it has learned manners and to honor you as the leader.  "Forcing" the dog to do as you ask then quickly rewarding is the quickest and simplest was to accomplish your goal.  I would suggest that you visit my site at www.invincibleservices.com and purchase the training booklet on the "One, Two, Good Dog!" page.  It is inexpensive and once you learn and understand the protocol you will have an easy time accomplish whatever you desire with your dog.  Once you reach the position of being honored and respected a the leader then you can go back to spoiling!!!
