Obedience first then you can move onto a book titled Practical Scent Dog Training by Button will give you the basic foundation. If you are going to cross train the pup for field work the the book you want is HUP: Training Flushing Spaniels the American Way by Jim Spencer.
If you want to get in touch with some local springer folks let me know, I may be able to direct you...send me PM
Who'd you get your pup from? Of course we'll need to see puppy pictures!
