There are not exact exercises to show this to your dog, I is more connected with the overall behavior you have toward the dog. For example, you should never go to the dog when a command is given. You should stay where you are and make clear that you are the one who give the command.
Basic dog training includes teaching your dog to some more basic commands such as “off”, “come”, “sit”, “down”, “stay”. The “off” command is an essential part of puppy training. The little cuties are curious and full of energy that (unfortunately) often is converted into destructive behavior. Teaching your puppy what “off” means will save many of your nerves in clearing home mess and replacing damaged home belongings.

Such approach will make your basic dog training into a pleasant process for both you and your dog.
