Assuming your dog is able to reach the light switch somehow, I am guessing you would start by asking your dog to put his face close to the light switch by coaxing him with a small treat. try putting it just above the light switch so that they have to move their nose close to it to get the treat. if after trying this your dog isn't realizing that he needs to turn it on to get the treat, just get him as close to it as possible, whether it be his nose you want him to do it with or his paw(which i imagine he would need to know the

"shake" command for) then once you've got him as close in contact with it as you can get him flip on the light switch for him and praise him strongly while letting him have the treat. repeat this several times, per week, not working very long in each session, getting him closer and closer to moving the light switch himself. eventually he will see the resemblance between his being near the light switch, the light coming on, and your immediate praise, and will start making an effort to do it himself, once this happens and he is consistently turning it on himself make sure to continue training sessions with him and praising him to keep it fresh in his mind. remember while doing this, after the first 3 or 4 times maybe, to associate a verbal command with it, as short of one as possible. something like "light", "lightswitch" things like that will be retained by the dog a lot better than "go turn the light on rover". Best of luck with your Dog Training

How do you stop teaching your dog his name on Nintendogs?

Well this depends on what you are asking. If it is: "How can the dog learn his name on the first go?" Then that is impossible. If it is "Is there a way you don't need to teach the dog a name?" Then you must start your game, and put ONE dog in the hotel. Then buy a new dog and when the teach name bit comes up, turn the DS off. Then turn it back on, and your dog will have no name. Don't know why you wanted this but hope it helps.
