If you don't get any specific recommendations, this is what I'd do:
I'm assuming you are looking for an AKC (or other) training club. You'll want to find a puppy kindergarten class as soon as possible. See if any of these are near you. Training Resources Go visit BEFORE your puppy arrives. Go during an evening class and watch. Talk to people. Everybody at dog clubs loves to talk. If they don't allow visitors, cross it off your list. Watch obedience training. Listen to the instructor. Make note of the methods instructors are using; compulsion versus positive. See if you can watch a puppy class. There should be all positive methods, lots of food, praise and smiling faces. No scolding or shoving the dog on the ground.

What type of training are you looking to do and what town are you in/near (if you don't mind my asking)? There are many different options depending on exactly where you are, northern NJ is loaded with trainers

I'm in Northern NJ as well. My pup is 4 months old and right now we go to puppy classes at Morris K9 Campus, like it there so far. They have obedience and agility classes of different levels. If you find schutzhund trainer in the area, please, let me know. And good luck!

I have heard good things about Morris k9 campus. The ones I was going to suggest might be too far for you - I am on the opposite side (NW) of the state so they'd be about an hour away.
For Schh I believe you would have to travel 45 mins to an hour or so but there are several clubs in the area. And for herding - look in my sig, we have a herding club although your pup wouldn't be old enough to train for a while. |

You got your puppy in Flemington right? I know the kennel name and some of the dogs in your guy's pedigree - I trained there for a long time and need to get back there someday soon. I would go to them for Schh training if that's not too far for you, they know the bloodlines and how to work them.
