I use cream cheese... try it first without the pill, if he likes it, then wrap it up in a little blob of cream cheese, I find it goes down easy (buy low fat).

Also don't worry, it sounds like the classic puppy blues, which I'm sure we've all had at one point.

for the commands I recommend reading "Train your dog like a pro" by Jean Donaldson, my trainer gave me her name and I found the book online. it breaks things down really simply. the key with her method is to teach the action so well first, before you give it a command. I'm pretty sure she's an agility trainer. Harley wouldn't distinguish from sit and down for a year and it was frustrating me, and I worked through the first chapter and everything went really well. It's done a lot for us...
