Hopefully Ducktrickster will chime in on this question, but here is my 2 pennies. The real answer would be right now, since everything you do with her now, helps in her more formal training in the future. Basically, it comes down building blocks. Starting w/ crate training, and simple commands that she will need - sit, stay, playing fetch, etc.
Personally, I would not spend money on a trainer until at least 6mos of age, then I would know that the dog will need more advanced training later.
