I m not here to make a debate but I m just sharing my past experience as thats what the OP asked for.
some may call it "training" but having owned 2 pups at 6 weeks old and comparing it to the 3rd puppy i got at 10 weeks. the first 2 was much more responsive and easy to command. also their much more clingy and caring.
and the 3 pups were owned at different times.
of course just my personal opinion.

Just FYI, your previous post DOES NOT come across as "just personal opinion":

This goes directly against advice I've heard for decades: 8 weeks is the minimum recommended for separating a puppy from its mother and always has been. Because you've lucked out with two means nothing. Some puppies ARE separated earlier and do fine. Some are separated later and don't do as well. Overall, the reverse is true - thus the advice of experts from the earliest days of dog breeding.
