If you aren't looking to compete I would suggest anything that teaches positive reinforcement. Wildrose has an extremely good program and a good book on Amazon.
My girl is pure british, but when I got her 11 years ago I didn't know the differences and sent her to a trainer who tried to force fetch her. She shutdown, wouldn't respond to any command and lived with her tail between her legs for a year. I will never subject one of my dogs to force fetching or shock collars for any reason afte rthat experience. It broke my heart what it did to her.
I later found out why she reacted like that, it was her bloodline. British dogs are just calmer, more sensitive pups.

Im border line positive/negative reinforcement. I've laid my hands on my dog twice. Once for jumping out of my truck going down our camp road and the other for chasing a nutria and not listening. She won't do either anymore.
As far as the shock collar goes, I was against them until I borrowed a buddy's. Talk about stopping breaks and ease when teaching whistle/hand signals. I put it on my lab and leave the remote in the truck, just being on her makes a world of difference.
May be a short cut in training but it sure is a nice short cut
