As for "bonding", I adopted a 2 yo dog and he bonded wonderfully with me. He knew basic obedience and has been wonderful to have around.
I have now completed the "puppy experience" and I will never do it again. I'll buy "started" or "green" dogs from now on. You have to go through house breaking and cleaning up poo and pee, then there's the teething phase, and the "I forgot everything you taught me - lets start over" also called the "testing" phase.
Sorry guys, but that was too much for me.
As far as training "your way", dogs learn fast. They'll learn a new language or whatever you want once you bond.
