I have just read your comments like "the earlier the better" and "starts when you get up in the morning and ends when you go to bed at night"

Hey c'mon you guys - you're supposed to be dog lovers.

Personally I think it's OK to socialize your dog fairly regular as a puppy. And for sure, you can try a few simple commands. But please take it easy with the little feller 'till he's at least 6 months if not more.

Good luck.
