I’ve done some research and a lot of people have said that Dr. Ian Dunbar’s programs are very good.
Videos:
SIRIUS Puppy Training Redux
Training the Companion Dog (4-DVD set)
Dog Training for Children
Training Dogs with Dunbar
Which one should I buy? Would I really need all that?
I’m planning to buy a puppy, but I have no experience with dogs at all 
I really want to be a good trainer and master of my future puppy. Also, which of his books would you recommend?
If you think there are better videos and books written by other people, can you please recommend them to me?
Btw, money is not an issue. I am the issue

Thanks a lot to those who helped!

Ian Dunbar’s stuff is good. Even better is Patricia McConnell- see her website, patriciamcconnell.com or check her out on dogwise.com
Go ahead and get Ian Dunbar’s e-book (free) Before You Get Your Puppy at http://www.dogstardaily.com
I love the website below, they do have free training listed on the website and also videos you can buy.

You should buy that book..it’s brilliant!!
My personal favorite is Victoria Stillwell’s "It’s Me of the Dog" book–she goes into detail about training, play, general dog care, and nutrition. A very good go-to book that serves many needs.
Don’t just watch videos. You’ll be on your way for a badly trained dog. It’s really necessary to go to a legit obedience class (petsmart is NOT legit, they don’t any more about training than you).
If you want to watch videos/tv shows while you’re not out training…I think Victoria Stillwell is pretty good. She’s on Animal Planet.
You could also check out Patricia McConnell for some good reading, or even some Pam Dennison. Another poster was right, however.
No amount of books can replace a good trainer.
I’d recommend you start with Karen Pryor’s DON’T SHOOT THE DOG. That will give you the information needed to shop around for legitimate trainers who honestly do know how to train dogs using humane and well-established methods. You and first dog should go through a formal training program. Remember that dogs don’t live nearly so long as do we humans, so you will almost certainly have other dogs in the future. The things you learn through a formal training course will be things you’ll be able to use forever.
