Training actually begins at birth and is the responsibility of the breeder until the pup is placed in his new home. Early training is carried out in the whelping box and with contact limited to only known vaccinated dogs. Once you take your puppy home, take him to the vet for an initial examination and to start or continue puppy vaccinations. Hopefully the breeder will already have administered one or two sets of shots before you take him home. Consult your veterinarian about when your pup is sufficiently vaccinated to have contact with unknown dogs and enroll in puppy class. Most puppy kindergarten classes will accept pups as young as 8 weeks old with a vaccination certificate from the vet. Early socialization for pups (especially between two and four months old) are especially important for the development of a well balanced dog who gets along with all sorts of people and other dogs. The best place to do that socialization is in a puppy kindergarten class, if available because he'll meet lots of other puppies of different breeds to interact with.
your puppy should be three months when you take it to puppy school, at puppy school they learn simple skills like socialization skills an sit, heel etc. Though at six months your puppy can start training for shows.

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.

The key to housetraining success is being able to predict when your puppy needs to go, getting her outside in time, and then rewarding her for doing the right thing in the right place. This gets her in the habit of pooping and peeing outdoors.

An 8 week old puppy can safely take Chlorpheniramine to help them with allergies. This medication is given based on their body weight and begins to offer relief after a few weeks of treatment.
Puppy training is continual. You should set aside thirty minutes to an hour to work with the puppy on specific things, but you have to reinforce the behavior you are teaching the puppy all the time. You need to reward the puppy when it does what you want it to (ie, treats, playing with the puppy) and scold it when it does something bad (ie saying no, bad,).
This depends entirely on the puppy. At seven weeks, it is perfectly normal for the dog not to be fully housetrained. My dog went through a phase at about eight months old when he would continually wet his bed, event though by then he was 'housetrained'. In a couple of weeks, the puppy should have grasped the idea that when he sits, or whines by the door, he gets let outside to pee (or poop). Even then, there will still be accidents now and again, but so long as consistent rewards are given when the puppy does go outside, he should be fully housetrained by a the time he is four to five months old.
You should stop feeding your dog puppy food when it reaches about 1 year. A typical puppy will reach adult size when its about 8-12 months.
