Dog Health Questions: Does anyone know of a good book about dog training?

I am planning on getting a dog, but I've never had one before and I don't know the first thing about training. I want to train it so it doesn't end up like my cousin's dog who jumps all over people and barks at everything. I want my dog to be my buddy so please hook me up with some sort of books to give me the basics of training my new dog right.

Dog Training With a Halti or General Leader Collar

• I liked "Before and After Getting Your Puppy" by Dr. Ian Dunbar
  
  It was really easy to read, had visuals, and TONS of very useful training and first time dog owner information. If you're getting a specific breed you might want to look into that as well. Some breeds require special care or issues that you should at least be aware of if nothing else. For example, I have a mini dachshund, and I got Ian Dunbar's book (reference from a friend who used it) and Dachshunds for Dummies. :)


• I don't think you need a book for that honey. It is very simple:
  
  1. Always walk beside or in front of the dog
  2. Enter rooms before the dog
  3. Exercise daily
  4. Don't let it jump on you without asking it to
  5. Don't let it bark without permission
  6. Read an article about potty training
  
  Its not hard it just takes dedication and you will have a fine dog. I trained mine and he is excellent. Its important that the dog sees you as a leader because dogs think in terms of dominance. An out of control dog thinks that he is the leader.
