hi ya,i think as you are in somewhat the same pos as me ,however in a diferent land what u should do is stop training and start planning.mistakes that are made now (which we all do)can have lasting effects.start with the basics,get a real strong bond with the dog/bitch,and start with the lead/ recal and its name.when u have given the name u have to never use it as punnishment,a dog that assosiates its name with a telling off wont come back to it. praise when a task is compleated, it is up to u how, fuss or food.
now mooving on is sit ,lay down stay and heel.as i am sure u know with other dogs
