Let's also remember that he is a PUPPY and don't forget that. At this point in his life, ALL learning should be up tempo, FUN, FUN, FUN with HIGH PRAISE and reward. This will build a VERY good strong foundation for later on, when obed can be a bit more stressful for both parties involved. I would NOT be pushing the pup and working on sit or stay. It's way to early for that IMO. If you hammer the pup now, it will come back to bite you later on...(not literally).
Good luck and have fun. He is only a puppy once!!!
