Hi Dennis, we don't recommend training outside of your home for any puppy younger than 4 months because they haven't been fully vaccinated with their 8 week, 12 week and 16 week shots. We have had a big uptick in Parvo cases and unfortunately many puppies have passed away as a result. We recommend providing a variety of chew toys to your puppy like soft squeaky toys, tennis balls, elk antlers, cow hooves (you can add peanut butter or pumpkin and freeze for a nice treat), bully sticks etc. This encourages them to stay busy and chew on appropriate items instead of your furniture. Once your puppy is old enough to safely go outside your home, we do offer training classes: https://idahohumanesociety.org/shelter-services/dog-training/

I don't think the pound trains dogs, to say. They do try to get dogs to folliw a few basics. Like sit, stay, and come. But it's not a given. It depends on how long they have the dogs...
