If no, CHS can recommend a trainer for you if needed. CHS' dogs are in foster homes and raised with much love, so transitioning to a new home should be easy, but if necessary, would you agree to in-home-training? Our experience has been that the sooner you have a routine the easier it will be for you and your new dog. Please give your new dog at least two weeks to adjust.
