In the wild dogs lived in packs, they are pack animals. Their strongest drive is to follow, or please their pack leader. This is how dogs were domesticated in the first place. A dog should perceive its owner as the pack leader; the strongest drive is to please its owner. Naturally, dogs want to establish a pecking order within the pack. In a home situation, dogs need only to understand that they are at the bottom of the pecking order for all humans they live with. This is why it is important that everyone who lives with the dog be involved with the training.
Consistency is most important in letting the dog know what pleases and displeases you. Everyone that lives with the dog must be consistent. We want the dog to know exactly what is expected without any confusion.
