Expand that do a double trade.... treat food then toy and tuck away the thing he should not have.... if you give it up you get a treat and also something else to have...No words non.. you can not train the word before the action you have to get quite before you teach the word.
You could make a dog sit on the word red not sit or stand on green... they do not understand the words.... Teach quite. catch it when he is quite or in the breath between reward that breath and you will see more then and only then when he starts to offer the quite do you use the word and give it a human cue.
