Some recent and old books which are now passed around the dog raising community are:
Good Owners, Great Dogs
by Brian Kilcommons, Sarah Wilson

Before and After Raising your Puppy

(Good book for keeping track of puppy life stages)

I used to also have "Its Me Or The Dog by Victoria Stillwell" which still holds up to this day but it is not as comprehensive as the two books I mention above. Evidently, the television show Its Me or the Dog with her she regrets some of the techniques she used with the dogs in early seasons. The last 10-20 years have been a busy time for dog trainers so its important to recognize what techniques are and are not acceptable or you could end up psychologically-damaging your dog rather than train.
