Okay here goes.
Mind you this is what I do and it has been working well for me. The first book I recommend is Tricks of the Trade by Pat Hastings. It has alot of very useful info . Also a book by Pat Hastings is Another Piece of the Puppy Puzzle.

Okay the first thing you need is a show lead one that has a kindness collar, it's not really a collar just a piece of material that prevents the dog from damage to it's trachea. the next thing you need is a favorite treat. I use chicken breast boiled.
If you have more than one pup take them out individually so they get one on one time for training. I start out taking a piece of chicken and letting them taste it then take it away and let the lead go under the chin so that it's not over the head. and I coax them to walk praising them when they do and if they stop or do the bucking against the lead I show them the chicken again. I keep training to 5 min intervals. Then we go sit and play. The total training and playing lasts about 30 minutes. I like to switch up walking and standing still . For table training it is basically talking and treating the pup each time you put it up on the table. Start with letting the pup check out the table and work towards getting him/her to stand. I also like to get them to stand anytime I can. Sometimes just sitting at my desk I will stack them on the desk or in my lap. Once they get about 5 months I like taking them to shows to get them acclimated to the sounds and we have a wonderful outdoor mall that I like to take them to for socialization.
