Good post.  I personally would call a dog under 2 years old a pup. When we work pups, starting at 8wks is just basically exposing them to different environments, sounds and having them become socially sound. Gradually turning play in to practice, like ball drive and correcting their bite skill. Pre training starts until around 7 -8 months, which is when I believe you can determine if the pup has the drive to become a working dog or not. At a year old, you should make your decision, and have a good trainable dog to work with.
