Hi! Welcome to DTA. abby_someone is right, you'll find lots of ideas for trick on here once you start looking around.
My dog is called Zac (without a "h") He sometimes sees a friend that thinks it is a doberman but it's wrapped up in a tiny pomerarian body .

Zac doesn't fetch well if there is a treat around and he doesn't do formal fetch ever anyway. He likes chasing things so I just found a toy he loved and then played tug, fetch developed from that.

I'd forget the treat for now, just get Zach really focussed on a toy and train on from that, fetch is pretty hard for a lot of dogs. If you look at the website that Sammie Dunn recommends earlier in this thread it describes teaching fetch based on the "tug" game and "bring it" commands.

I found that the website that I posted is very helpful in quite a few places. Some of the commands are great to know when teaching other things such as fetch.

How are you getting on now? Any luck? xx
