Most important thing to remember about training: YOU are the Alpha dog. No matter how cute your puppy may be you gotta assert your dominance and be the boss. If the puppy does something you don't like make sure that it knows.
Personally i do not recommend crate training, it seems completely unnecessary. You have to think like a dog when dealing with dogs and not like a human. Be nice to your dog, then when they fuck up you make them know about it. A little vocal bark-like yell like a "HEY!" with a stern look is really all you need to train your dog to respond to. Keep it simple, and don't stress them more than is needed.
