Will,
I wish you all the best with your new pup. I have no real suggestions on thaining GSP's but I will offer you one bit of advise for gundogs in general. I have trained several English Springer Spaniels and the number one thing for a puppy is very simple basic obedience training. You must train the dog to come when called, stay when told to. If you do not accompolish this you will never be able to train the more complex things in the field. There is no time like right now to start. It only takes about 10 - 15 minutes once or twice a day and you will be amazed how fast they will learn the basics.
Bill G.
