Yes, why 6 weeks? I took Spettro when he was 8 weeks old (it seems so few time but they make ALL the difference). I wanted him to be on full in his best socialisation period (5-13 weeks) without losing the inibition of the bite of his mum. Anyway in Italy you cannot give a puppy away before 60 days or so!

And I started immediately the training, little things, always put in a playful manner, so that he had to think about it but enjoyed it.

Anyway, at 6 weeks he is old enough to learn in a playful manner the "Sit", the "down", and do not be indulgent with him now otherwise he will pretend it as an adult. You'll have to be softly strict...
