Start by teaching your dog basic commands, and be sure to reward your dog with treats or love. Here is another good article on teaching your dog to fetch: http://www.kidzworld.com/article/16063-teach-your-dog-to-fetch

Basically, you teach your dog to sit. Then have him sit while you throw an object. Then teach him to go get the object when you say fetch. Then, teach him how to distinguish between different objects, such as ball, stick, and paper. Soon enough, when he hears "fetch paper", he'll know which object to go get.

You can train one to fetch a beer from the fridge, here is a video of it : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEnTPJMgDMo
