Dogs go stiff when they die due to a process called rigor mortis, a condition in which the muscles temporarily stiffen after death. But dogs are not the only ones that go through rigor mortis. Any animal that dies gets it too, including humans.
As the muscles decompose a bit, hours to days later, depending on the temperature, the muscles become soft again. That's why steaks aren't stiff.

Well it all depends. Are you planning on teaching it tricks or basic commands? Some basic commands are sit, come, and lay down. start with sit- hold a treat above the dogs nose and gently push on the rear. come- this is pretty easy call the dogs name and hold out a treat. lay down- put the animal into a sit position and place a treat on the ground. if the dog doesnt lay then gently slide the paws down. for tricks some beginner ones are spin and paw. spin- take a treat and put it in front of the dogs nose move it in a circle. hopefully the dog will follow. paw- hold your hand out and place the dogs paw in it. reward with a treat. Remember always say the command when the dog does it. in order to punish never hit, instead ignore. hope this helps! good luck
