The best way to teach obedience commands to a dog is by using treats to show her what you want her to do - then reward when she does the behavior correctly. You can work with a good reward-based trainer in your area if you are unsure about how to get started - he/she can show you how to teach her. It's very common for Labs to shed a lot, but you can help by bathing her frequently (once a month if possible) and brushing her daily using a Furminator or other type of shedding tool to remove loose hair. The type of shampoo you use doesn't matter, so I would just use a regular dog shampoo when you bathe her.
