i have a 16 week old foxhound/greyhound cross. i just need a really good puppy training guide. my baby is due in may and i realise that he will still be a pup for a lot longer than that so i need him to do what he's told when he's told, without it being an issue taht i have to take time away from whatever im doing to enforce it i.e; if he's at the baby and i ask him to go and sit down, i need him to do it. also, he barks when we put him outside, its getting worse and i cant seem to get him to stop. anybody know of a good book to help me out with this. i really am clueless when it comes to anything beyond 'sit'.

gwen bailey's perfect puppy is great
