First off, the last book in the world you should get is one by the Monks of New Skete. More people have had problem dogs from those books than I care to think about. It's based on old thinking, old techniques, and is just not the greatest way to go for a normal Joe that is generally not super experienced with dog training.
The vast majority of people in my experience who have tried those techniques ended up with very nervous, unpredictable and untrained dogs. Besides, I remember reading an article where the main "author" said he regretted ever publishing the "How to be Your Dog's Best Friend" and "The art of Raising a Puppy" books. "The Art of Raising a Puppy" has great info on how a puppy develops, but I very much disagree with the training put forth in it. Much too harsh for a puppy.
A much better book is by Karen Pryor, "Don't Shoot the Dog" I was able to order it at the local B&N for about $7. www.dontshootthedog.com
Your best bet, honestly, is Petsmart, or a local kennel club; one that is progressive and uses positive reinforcement techniques. No one technique works for every dog, but far more respond to positive methods better. A Puppy kindergarten class is usually a very good thing.
