Where can I find good methods for dog training?
THIS IS AWESOME!
My favorite dog trainer and dog whisperer of all time has just released a free video online explaining how to eliminate 94% of all unwanted behavior in ANY dog.
Her name is Krista Cantrell and I absolutely LOVE the way she teaches.
Click on the video to watch. You'll be glad you did...
I want to get a dog soon, but I don’t know how to train them. I had a dog when I was small, but he wasn’t very well trained. He jumped up on people, barked at every random noise he heard, and always jumped onto the furniture. That’s why I want to know some tips for training a dog.
There are any number of books using positive methods.

that’s how I taught my 11 year old dog (who is also a little overweight, so you can imagine how hard this was), to roll over….

teach him from day one that your the boss, no means no!, and teach him all the basic tricks like sit, lie down, wait, paw and any others you fancy, always keep with same rule, dont say one day he can go on the sofa then the next day he cant, this will only confuse him! Hope this has helped

So many aspects to training a dog that it is hard to put it all here. To the 2 things you mention, jumping on furniture and jumping on people; DO NOT let it start! It jumps on the chair or sofa, quickly sweep it of with your arm while loudly saying "OFF." That is sweep it off, not throw it off, you want it to be firm and uncomfortable but not injurious. For jumping on people bump it in the chest with your knee as it jumps up, again "OFF." That is a bump, not a kick. If it falls down every time it jumps on people/furniture it will stop jumping on people/furniture. Barking is harder, is it excited barking, alarm barking, fear barking? Mostly if you remain calm when the barking starts and just muzzle him gently with your hand and say "hush" you can minimize_some_of the barking; getting it to stop quicker after it starts, but barking is normal.
