How old should a puppy be when you introduce collars and leashes?

I would start around 4 months with the weight of a deactivated collar and walking the perimeter. At 5 months I would train using the flags and weight of the deactivated collar, I would not turn on the collar until the puppy is 6 months old. By that time the puppy should have the regime down pat and will not test the collar more than a few times.

Why are dog collars leashes essential?
Dog collars leashes are important for one of the most obvious reasons- training and controlling your pet. When used with leashes, stylish dog collars can be a great way to provide you some degree of control so that you can prevent your pet from walking away or straying off to places that are unsafe for him. Dog collars training are also very important when you want to establish the identity of your dog and want to provide your contact information in case your dog is lost. There are several essential features that you must look for in dog collars training like the right size. Whether you select a personalized designer or a stylish leather collar, you will have to ensure that it is the right size if you want it to be comfortable for your dog. A tight collar can be harmful and even lethal for your dog while having a bigger collar will make it easy for your pet to slip away. The material and the width that you select should also be suitable for your puppy or your dog. A heavy leather collar would not be suitable for a dog like Chihuahua while a lightweight collar would not be suitable for a Rottweiler. Agree with the above. There are many different types of dog collar to choose from including reflective (for safe walking after dark), waterproof (for dogs who like to splash around), personalized dog collars etc.. I have left a link to a guide about different types of dog collars.

Why is it bad to buy collars from pet stores?
It is bad because most pet stores get their animals from puppy mills. I wouldn't take my chances, though. Anyway, you are giving them money when you buy beds, collars, toys, and more. That means that you are supporting them. That way, with the more money that they have, they can get more animals from those horrible puppy mills. :( Don't know what a puppy mill is? Go ahead and ask! :)

Should puppies be trained from birth?
Yes, although the training needs to be age appropriate. For a newborn puppy, simply touching the puppy and letting it get used to the smell and feel of humans is plenty - you don't need to pick it up or disturb it. When the puppy's eyes open, you can start holding and gently scratching the puppy all over - ears, belly, back, legs, etc. As the puppy gets better at walking, you should introduce a collar and then a leash; when the puppy is moving around you'll also need to teach it bathroom manners (often called housebreaking). After the puppy has been vaccinated, it should be introduced to people and social situations (PetSmart is a great place for this, since they encourage owners to bring their animals in).
When should you introduce your puppy to your older dog straight away when you get back from the breeder or after a while?
If you have a cage then let them get to know each other through there. The big one outside and the new one in it. Then see how they react to determine how long you should wait
How old does a puppy need to be for his first shoot?
If you are talking about training a hunting dog, the puppy should be exposed to the smells, sights and sounds of guns and their accessories throughout their puppyhood - six to eight weeks old is fine for starting to introduce the dog gradually to the sport. If you are talking about a puppy's first vaccination, veterinarians in the United States typically recommend the first vaccine be given when the puppy is approximately 8 weeks old.
