New dog, training tips?

I'm 18 years old and my family just got a new puppy yesterday and we're picking him up Wednesday May 17. Its a puppy Eskipoo (American Eskimo Dog/Poodle) and he's only a few weeks old. We never had a puppy before so I'm just asking for a few basic tips. My mom said we're going to crate train him and I'm not 100% what that is so any tips on that too? Any help would be good thanks :]

Crate training: Most pups like their crate because it can satisfy many dogs' need for a den-like enclosure. It's an effective housebreaking tool because it takes advantage of the dog's natural reluctance to soil its sleeping place, it can also help to reduce separation anxiety, to prevent destructive behavior (such as chewing furniture), and it keeps the pup away from potentially dangerous household items (i.e., poisons, electrical wires, etc.) I agree with the previous poster though--don't use it as a substitute for proper training. The idea is to take the pup out often enough (every couple of hours or so at first) so that it doesn't have to soil it's "home". Don't make it hold it for very long--especially when it's very young.

Keep the pup at home til it's had all of its shots. Your veterinarian may recommend keeping the pup home until he's 16-18 weeks old. Listen to your vet, even if obedience instructors insist the pup needs the socialization of a kindergarten class. Socialization is important, but not as important as avoiding exposure to fatal diseases such as parvovirus and distemper.

Socialize the pup. Find a dog park and let the pup get used to other people and other puppies. But be prepared to protect it, if necessary.

I agree with the previous poster that said to take it to basic obedience classes. But make sure it's a good class with a good instructor. There are some suggestions down at the source section:

German Shepherd Dogs Crate Training

German shepherd dogs crate training is known to be the very successful approach to house-train the dog. Crate training helps to set up a place that your dog will be able to feel secure in its new home. German shepherds will learn in rapid that peeing or pooping in their crate is intolerable for they would not want to stay in that waste. This training will also establish a place where the dog can freely feels safe and this plays a significant role in motivating their socialization manners. When crate training starts, there's a need to watch the time to secure that your German shepherd has sufficient time and opportunities to go on peeing outside the cage. The dog will learn quickly that the crate is his area and he is not to potty in the crate. Remember that the dog in common have very little management over their bowels and bladders.

One more cause for crate training a German shepherd is to establish his place to sleep. It is not advisable to let a dog develop into a habit on sleeping in bed with his owner or companion. This illustrates a sense of being on the same ground and contradicts the scheme of who is actually the head of the group. This training also controls the dog from wandering without your awareness. In doing this so, owners must find the crate that is the right size for the German shepherd dog. You should purchase the crate for your dog accordingly. Choosing the crate size for the German shepherd will depend on how many months or years you will use it. For the most excellent outcome, make sure your dog has gone into a potty break outside the residence before you rest him in the crate.
