I was wondering if anyone can provide me with any good sites so I can read about training my dog? He is only a year old and from my understanding it's better to start when they are young. I just won't to make sure I do it the right way rather then the wrong way.

Do you mean basic obedience? I don't know there is a good website. I always sugggest a class or book. The younger the better. With somebody the right age in the family, 4-H dog training is a great idea.
In my area, clubs form soon after the first of the year. Even many urban
Areas have 4-H. For info look in your phone book under government listings
For extension or cooperative extension offices. Ask specifically about a dog
Or canine club. The dogs see all the people and dogs in the household as a
Pack with each having their own rank in the pack and a top dog. Life is much
Easier if the 2 legged pack members outrank the 4 legged ones. You can learn
To play the role of top dog by reading some books or going to a good obedience
Class. A good obedience class or book is about you being top dog, not about rewarding standard commands a treat. Start at http://www.dogsbestfriend.com/
