Does anyone have any recommendation for training a puppy? Such as any good websites/videos that you have used or such?

Train in short blocks of time (i.e. 15 minutes). Puppies have the attention span of a two year old.

Have a lot of treats on you at all times. Pups are very stubborn and will test your temper and patience but it does get better. I've got a 9 week old at the house and he's got a hard head but seems to be pretty resilient at such a young age. I have a stern hand on him and he's coming around more as the days pass. Good luck puppies are awesome and suck at the same time.

Different breeds need different training...

Seriously read a book about training your particular breed. It will make it a lot less stressful for the two of you.

What are you training for? Hunting/retrieving training? Basic house dog obedience? Need some particulars

What kind of pup, and training for what?
Patience and consistence.
Play with him/her for a few minutes before and after training. Start happy, end happy.
Short periods of training starting at about 15 - 20 mins, as it gets older and progresses, training sessions can get longer.
Also, probably most important, dogs can have bad training days too. When you go into a training session, expect nothing, and be happy with what you get.
ETA: Read up on clicker training, works awesome for young pups for learning their names, sit, stay, heel, the basics.

I used Dick Russell's method for obedience. Essentially a reward based system.
Now for hunting I like to use Richard Wolter's style.

Don't be soft on him. They know how for to push you. If you are easy or soft the dog will push you further and further.

youtube is your friend! I nearly fullytrained my pup in 3 months.
Does take a lot of time, dedication and patience though.
