As a genuine question - no commands when positioning to different stances etc? Just using the clicker to reinforce good movements and then bringing in commands at a later date?
One could absolutely start using verbal markers at this age. I have in many previous pups, myself. However, I’ve found it simple to start naming the behaviors with the verbal commands around 12 to 14 wks of age. We spend a lot of time shaping the exercises, and increasing the puppies desire to learn and work. Thank you for reaching out!
My boy Blue!!

Yes that was my question too. I would never have thought about training a puppy that way but it makes sense. 👍
