A friend with some new puppies turned me on to these two great puppy training books so I'm passing the favor on to you! They both use the positive-reinforcement technique of clicker-training.
51 Puppy Tricks - by Kyra Sundance- http://www.amazon.com/Puppy-Tricks-Step-Step-Activities/dp/1592535712 -- This book is very user-friendly because it has step-by-step photos on each page, as well as "troubleshooting" if you are not getting the desired result. Older children who want to participate in the process will also appreciate the easy-to-understand instructions and photos in this book. This would be a great book to include with your puppy packs.
Clicker Training for Dogs, by Karen Pryor.
http://www.amazon.com/Getting-Started-Clicker-Training-Dogs/dp/1890948217/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1277916312&sr=1-1 -- Karen Pryor is the "grand dame" of clicker training and gives a clear, easily understood explanation of the process.
