Too cute!! Reminds me of my lab when we got him at 8 wks back in Feb. of this yr. Although now my cute lil puppy that used to look like yours is now 8 1/2 months old and weighs 70lbs!!!
You have been given some great advice already!! If he is mostly housebroken now, you have already basically jumped one of the biggest hurdles of puppyhood. I would say to make sure that you take him on walks everyday, and allow him to meet lots of other dogs and other people. This socialization helps with them being great dogs as adults. Also work on training him a little everyday, short little 5 - 10 min sessions at a time is enough for such a young puppy. They can always learn sit, and the basics of the come command at this point, and working with him now will just make it that much easier to work with him when he gets older (and bigger!!). Just make sure that you end the training sessions on a good note. Other than that, I can't think of anything else right off hand that hasn't already been said. Also kudos to cratetraining your puppy!!! That is the single most helpful tool in housebreaking a puppy in my opinion, plus it helps them to stay out of trouble while everyone is gone!!
