Glad to see you took a rescue dog, we have two of them and they are great!
In regards to name training was going to say exactly what Khel said...when you say 'Jake' wait until he makes eye contact then give him the treat and LOTS of praise...you may need to help him make eye contact by waving the treat in front of him to draw his attention to you.
And you may want to drop a few $$ on a dog training course or book (Dog training for dummies was surprisingly good)..it is $20-$120 that is well spent IMO
