Double Post - Sorry

I'm standing on the patio, trying to gently open the pack of training treats, then Riiip . Little treats go flying everywhere when the bag splits top to bottom. *sigh* Quickly pick up as many treats that are on the ground as possible. Luckily Forge didn't seem to realize that he could just do his own tour and just hoover them up. So I got most of them before he stopped following me around while I'm on all fours.

Things went great after that. He's only almost 9 weeks old, so I'm not expecting too much to start with, just trying to lay some foundations until I get the hang of it. Clicking and rewarding when he would come to me and saying come while he was bounding towards me. I've clicked and rewarded him for peeing too. I was click and rewarding for sits and also said it a few times and he sat for me. Then we had a play session before I asked for more sits and rewarded for coming back to me.

Is this the right way to start with a baby puppy? Naming, clicking and rewarding good behaviours that he offers?
