As Archie is over a year old, you can certainly start training him a bit at home. As has been said basic obedience will be useful as well as some directional commands - right and left, wait etc.
I have made some small jumps out of plastic overflow piping with the relevant connectors and some weaves out of some wooden sticks. I also have a children's hoop and tunnel. You can even start with just a piece of stick on the ground and teach Archie to go over it - can then gradually raise it a bit higher.
For jumps I use "over" as the command, through the tunnel is "Tunnel" and for the weaves I use "weeeeeeave" - I know, you would never guess
I started off training Coco with a clicker and she loves it although she is not that disciplined but as we just do it for fun it doesn't matter too much
