haha don't worry kyles, it's never too young to train your puppy. what other forum members said is kinda true BUT you can still enjoy the puppy hood. i'm enjoying mine but my puppy knows how to sit and wait for his food and not jump.
you can teach yours table manners as starters ;)
1) say please = sit down and wait for the food. jumping = wait longer. puppies will literally drop their butt to sit. so this is easy, you can check my blog, i've posted mine there.
2) make training a game. if your puppy can sit, your puppy can stay! as your puppy waits for you, slowly move away. as soon as your puppy moves from the sit position, do a odd noise or something (not NO or scolding tone, something different that would get the puppy's attention without making your puppy come). make your puppy stay again, move away to the point you know roughly when your puppy will get up, then call the name and "Come". when your pup comes, pet, cuddle kiss, treats.
3) from sit to lay down -> use a treat and slowly from the nose, go down to the floor. let the pup follow you. when done correctly, give the treat. easy right? :D
training can be fun, all depends on how you interprete and do it. my puppy is about your puppy's age and he's doing fine. he's one heck of a puppy. sits, lay down, get up, stand, and stay. BUT he still acts like a puppy, at a different level...he recently moved his bed from his "home" to the living room near the balcony...lol he even steals the nylabone from my 1.5 year old maltese right from his mouth and runs away with it. so training doesn't really ruin the puppyhood. it makes it much more fun and "bearable" lol what happens when your pup knows sit, down and stand? practise it during meal time! he'll sit when i'm preparing the food. as soon as i step close to him he's so used to the routine he'll automatically down, sit, stand etc. before i even ask lol seeing him do all those makes me proud of him and it's also funny seeing him guess which one is the correct one to get food lol.
train your puppy like you're playing with it and it'll be fine. puppies will terrorize you when they have lots of energy. so teaching them new tricks is a way to burn those energy. don't take it like "training" but more towards, nurturing the need to learn

this is so funny... if you bring up your furkid when they are very young age they can understand your laguage. but if over 1 year old then maybe should try other language.
. so far he understand. but again they won't understand every words we say but our body language is most importand that's what i think.
