I am also new to marker training. We have had our GSD puppy going on 1 month. He will be 14 weeks this Wednesday.
I just wanted to say to Kory, it is so very different from the frenetic "no's" I used with our other puppies. Between keeping him tethered, or in his ex-pen with toys,crate at night, and learning/ teaching with markers, I wonder how we ever survived puppy-hood before!!
I am also amazed that our other dogs turned out as well as they did!!
It's fun to learn this method while your puppy learns,and to see him wag his tail when you "train/play" in short fun sessions. He is doing so well for such a youngster.
I studied all those DVDs for 2 months before getting him. And I am still watching them or parts of them everyday!

It changes life-with-pup/dog, doesn't it?
Good for you! You have a lucky puppy.
This says so much (about many -- or most -- of us!):
