I was wondering how soon do you start training when you bring a puppy home? I was thinking of waiting a week before starting clicker training. Is this a good idea or should we start the very day we get him?

I agree with Bob.
When you bring the pup home just watch what he/she does.
He/she may run around and check things out and play like there is nothing to being in a new environment or they may be shy and not want to do too much for the first few days. Or they may be somewhere inbetween.
You need to watch, a pup that is zooming around, may in a few days, become tentative about things as they settle and a pup that is shy may become a furniture eating machine.
With all you have gained with your questions here and I am am really sure you have researched and read Ed's articles, I think you will be fine and able to assess what to do.
I personally like a pup that has the zoomies and stays that way....but I am a glutton for punishment too....
Just make sure that you do not coddle a timid pup but rather encourage forward and confident behavior with a soft encouraging voice and treats that they REALLY like.
