Yes, training right away is ideal. If it were me, I would give verbal praises for when the puppy uses the pad. And then start the treats later, assuming the puppy will eventually start eating after a day or two.
If my two babies got a treat for every good thing they did, they'd bound to get sick. They both have sensitive stomachs. Actually, now that I'm thinking back, Scottie did get sick...when he went to puppy class because of all the treats the trainer told us to give. I guess that's why I'm extra careful. After that, I ended up training them with their kibble for the most part.
But I'm sure not all dogs are as sensitive as mine are.
