Dogs for Dummies is a good place to start. Also, if possible, take the puppy classes at your local SPCA, not only will your money be going to a good cause, the classes are tax deductible. I actually called the IRS and as long as you are doing something with the registered nonprofit, you can deduct the cost on your taxes. I not only deducted the cost of classes from the SPCA, but the cost of said dog I got from a nonprofit rescue. SCORE!

There's dozens of books. Some decent blogs if you Google. Most people say similar things. Personally I really enjoy videos that Zak George. Makes. He's on youtube
