At what age do you all think you should start working with puppies on sit, stay, that kind of thing? I have been trying to work with Captain Jack, but I think he is still too young.

How old is Captian Jack? I don't think it's ever to early to train. When a puppy is ready to come home, they are able to be trained. Sessions will need to be a lot shorter because of their short attention span, but they'll learn. Just don't over whelm him. Do like 5 minutes at a time, 3 times a week. This is what I've done. I'm not a trainer or anything, so maybe a trainer will post what is best.
