Hey everyone.

So I discovered in this forum that buying a 6 week old puppy is a big nono. The breeder refused him back. With that said, I want to maximize his behavior and training now. My pupp Lucian is 6 weeks and 4 days old. I have a 3 year old daughter and a 1 year old small mutt that is just as big as Lucian is now. They both play and my daughter is gentle. I have trained 1 gsd in the past and feel I have good experiance on doing it again. What I don't have experiance in is just now finding out I may have a social problem with my new puppy. Any good ideas?

He did cry all last night in his crate and I expect the same tonight. My original plan was to start clicker training today. Should I stick with my plan and start my training like any other gsd puppy or do I need to do something else?
