A 30 day old puppy is not ready for any training yet, Actually, it should still be with its mommy until the age of 60 days. It still needs to be a puppy without a job or training for another 2 months or so, then you can start potty training. As for commands, the brain is not developed enough to learn commands. Be patient.
