You check-in with the operating airline of the first flight. You can find the operating airline mentioned in your booking together with the flight#.
Where are you flying to on the first leg? What is the flight#?

AA doesn't serve Göteborg Landvetter Airport in Sweden. If you are flying airberlin, British Airways (including operated by Sun Air) or Finnair (or Finnair operated by Nordic Regional), you will check in at the operating airline's ticket counter.

If AY is your flight's operating carrier, then you check in with AY even if the flight number on your ticket mentions an AA flight number.
If AB is your flight's operating carrier, then you check in with AB even if the flight number on your ticket mentions an AA flight number.
If IB is your flight's operating carrier, then you check in with IB even if the flight number on your ticket mentions an AA flight number.
I think you get the point.

First flight is to LHR (BA operated) then from LHR to LAX then DFW both on AA operated. It is all on a single AA PNR. All right, so I will go to the BA desk and they will hopefully tag my bag to final destination. Thank you

When you check in, check your bag tags to see that the destination airport where you plan to pick up the bags is mentioned on it. If you have sub-12 hour connections at all the airports on the trip, then, BA@GOT can tag your bag all the way to LAX and DFW. But be aware that you will need to claim your bag for customs purposes at the airport of entry into the US, clear customs there and then have it checked in again just after clearing US customs at the first port of entry into the US.
