The best book I know of is the 4-H novice Y . You can go to your local extension office and purchase it. They also have more advanced books as you go along. Also your local Kennel club should be able to help you out. I like working with another person, that way both dogs and people get use to distractions. I also will after a while switch dogs so i know it's the training not "clues" I'm giving out.
Sometimes the 4-H groups allow you to train with them. Hope this helps.
