Hi there, you might want to start your own thread on this to get some responses. We didn't do any formal training with our pup at 12 weeks - just started working on Sit and then lots of games and play. But others may have better input if you post your own thread so people can see it. Hope that helps.
@coco This link will take you to a page from whcih you can download an ibook with accompanying videos (more of a pamphlet really.) It's an excellent introduction to force-free puppy training. https://eileenanddogs.com/2016/12/26/lessons-for-my-puppy-free-ibook/ I suggest that the important thing in these early weeks is to build a good relationship with your puppy. Teach your pup to play tug - to start with offer a treat in exchange for a release of the tug toy and then immediately restart the game. After a short while you won't need the treat because your puppy will realise the game restarts when he releases the toy. Take your puppy out and about (carrying if he hasn't had his vaccinations yet) to see different sights and people. Make sure this is a happy experience for him, so feed treats and move away from anything he finds scary. Teach him his name - say his name and drop a treat. Start recall - give your cue word ('come') or whistle immediately before you give him his meal. After a few days start giving the cue as he is coming to you unprompted and alays reward. Teach him to enjoy being handled. Always make your touch kind. Touch a part of his body and give a treat. Gradually build up to having his paws held gently, running your hands all over his body. There's lots more on the main site too.
