Do a google search for CGN test. I think pups are allowed to take it from 6 month and up? It will have all of the different steps to the test....and you can start practising some of the things. I think a pup/dog that can pass the CGN (in the states CGC)...is well mannered and knows basic obedience.
Have a goal to work towards, and if the CGN test comes up in your area later on, take it with your dog. It will also help in the future if you need to rent, to show a prospective landlord that your dog has qualified for CGN.
