The Other End of the Leash by Patricia McConnell is an excellent training book. The Monks of New Skete also have a couple of very good books out. The Art of Raising a Puppy is very good, but some of the methods are dated and not used anymore. They have a new edition of How to be your dog's best friend, and this has corrected the problems from previous editions.
As for underground fences, that depends on the dog. Many of the northern breeds have high pain tolerances, and will often run right through them (this is definitely true of akitas and elkhounds).
