Puppies should not leave their litter until they are at least 8 weeks of age. One week makes a big difference. If you got your puppy too young, he may very well be lacking very important socialisation skills, which he will never be able to have. Some people want younger dogs because they are cuter and will stay smaller for longer, but that is a bad reason. When you get a puppy, you shoud get one that is between 8 weeks and 10 weeks old. That would be the ideal. Good breeders don't let puppies less than 8 weeks be adopted. I would be concerned, a lot more bad habits may appear.
