We're getting a cockerpoo puppy for Christmas. What's the best way to train him? Crate training comes highly recommended. We really want to raise a well mannered dog and we've never had a puppy before. Any books we should know about?

Congratulations!

That's great that you already looking at training. There are many methods out there, find one that you are comfortable with and *be consistent*.

In addition to consistency, early socialization with humans and other dogs will promote a well mannered dog.

There are tons of books, but here are three popular ones:
The Art of Raising a Puppy by New Skete Monks
The Perfect Puppy : How to Raise a Well-Behaved Dog by Gwen Bailey
Don't Shoot the Dog! : The New Art of Teaching and Training by Karen Pryor
