What's a good age to start ...

Just find him good basic obedience class for now and work on handling details at home. Also ask if you could sit on any agility classes- one it will let you evaluate trainers and general atmosphere at the place, second -bring puppy dinner with you and feed him when teeter bangs and such- let him get used to noise. That what Leo is doing. Also at the club I go to when they change course for next class I could go in and let my pup jump on the table, put his paws on equipment, "jump" with bars down etc
Clean Run also offers Video on demand- something you could rent to watch for 2 weeks and then if you want to buy they will deduct most of your spent money from your purchase price.
