Two books I really liked:

1. training retrievers for marshes and medows.
   
   
2. Tri-tronics retriever training
   
   But there are literally hundreds of books on the subject and I doubt you can go wrong with any of them. So don't stress. Enjoy your puppy. The first thing you need to do is bond and build trust.
   
   Your pup needs to learn the basics too. Sit, come, down, stay, heel, etc....
   
   

   Puppy retriever training
   

   
   This starts as a game. Find something light weight that catches the attention of your pup. I have used: paint roller covers, very light stuffed animals, puppy toys, just to name a few. You need two of them, preferably identical.
   
   With interesting toy(s) in hand and eager puppy now find an environment where puppy can't go off on his own. I recommend a hallway with all doors and access to other rooms closed off.
   
   pup has two choices: return to you or not.
   
   Now get on ground with puppy and toy. Don't let him see both toys. Excite him with one of them. get him to chase toy by dragging it around at his level. Once he is chasing after it toss it a few feet away. He should bound after it and pick it up.
   
   Hopefully he will come back to you with toy. If he does, praise him but don't take toy away. Not yet.
   
   At this point you need to read the situation to figure out the next step.
   
   If puppy comes back with toy :
   
   Let him hold it and play with it near you. Praise and pet him. Get him used to being handled while playing. DO NOT SNATCH THAT TOY AWAY. Don't even make a move toward the toy right away. At this point you are building yourself as a safe place to enjoy playing. You are building yourself as a place to retrieve to.
   
   After some time has passed, (a minute or two should do fine) gently get toy from puppy. Don't pry it out of his mouth. Gently remove it. Now depending on you pup he may be possessive of it. No problem. Pull out toy #2. Get him chasing after that one. Pup should forget about his boring toy and chase and play. Toss new toy, collect old toy.
   
   If you are lucky, pup will come back and easily give up toy and you only need the one.
   
   Repeat the excitation and small toss.
   
   If puppy does not come back from toss: take out other toy and start dragging it around, make it exciting. Pup should come to see what the fuss is about. He will do so with or without his toy. If he leaves old toy collect it. If he brings it he will drop at some point while trying to get new toy. Collect it when he does so there is only one toy and you in play and never the association of loss at your hand.
   
   Now you can repeat the puppy play fetch.
   
   

• Praise when he comes to you.
  
  
• reward with fun and exciting play
  
  
• do not accidentally build the association of loss of toy when he comes back by taking it from him right away. Distract with second toy instead.
  
  
• if you can, and if he is coming back to you to play with toy, and if he is showing no possessiveness, try not to let him simply drop toy on ground. Put hand Palm up under toy while it is still in his mouth but don't latch on to toy and don't pull it away. Best case scenario he lets go of toy on his own. If he does IMMEDIATELY restart game. What you are doing is building the association that putting object in master's hand is the way to play the game. The reward is exciting play.
  
  If he doesn't give up toy into your waiting hand take toy after a period of time has passed so that you don't build association of coming to you and losing toy. Use your judgement. You might have to resort to toy #2 for a while. Whip that toy out and restart play. He will probably let go of toy 1 into your waiting hand to go after toy 2 in your other hand.
  
  
• maybe do this a handful of times per session. Don't let puppy get bored with game. Quit before he gets bored. Lots of 5-10 minute sessions are better than one long session.
  
• I usually do play retrieve training last. After puppy basics training. It's a fun note to end on.
  
  

  shaping behavior
  

  Once you can do puppy retrieve game with one toy, gradually lengthen the distance you toss toy down hallway. As long as pup comes back to you to enjoy toy you can continue to build distance.
  
  While building distance you are also gradually shortening time between coming to you with toy and you taking it from him to restart game.
  
  This game progresses to the point where you can throw object far from yourself without a hallway (eventually going outside). Pup is retrieving mostly to hand because you are ensuring that your hand is under toy before he looks like he will drop it.
  
  That should get you started.
  
  
  

In case you're really interested, read about Sheck Exley, one of the pioneers of cave diving. Here's one:

Unfortunately his story, like so many other cave divers, ends in his death.
