How to teach a dog some tricks?

I’ve got a retriever/ redhealer mix that is about eleven years old. I want to teach her some tricks like fetch and stuff instead of just sit and stay. Do you guys have any tips?

In short: take small steps, be patient and consistent, and reward her well whenever she does something right.

Here are some sites that include explanations for a variety of tricks:
