I would probably go with ADG, if just for the convenience of it being closer and the fact that they've been around for 30+ years as a cornerstone of the dog training world. They have a lot of great classes for pups as young as 8 weeks that build upon one another, and it's all real-world skills for every day life.
Congrats on your new pup!

Maribeth at SaltyClaws in Nashua is a sweet person and an amazing trainer with a lot of experience, several certifications, and a good education under her belt. I worked with her (at Good Mojo, in Milford, mentioned in another comment) for several years and she is one of the very few people I would trust with my own dogs.
If you can't get to Nashua to see her, then you absolutely cannot go wrong with the All Dog's Gym in Manchester. Gail Fisher is an absolute treasure of the dog world and she helped change the way we work and communicate with dogs. ADG has high standards and requirements for their trainers and their facilities.

If you think this is bad, don't ever come to RI.
People here literally stop in the middle of traffic circles either because they don't know if the other person is just going to go, or to "be nice" and let the other person go. It's real fun when driving through the four to six back to back traffic circles.

Reply to Rhode Island woman dies in police custody in Tennessee by Meatball_Grinder
"Died of natural causes" and "officers didn't cause her death." Straight up negligence and a complete lack of empathy and intelligence, rewarded with "paid administrative leave."
Tell me again how not all cops are bad. Tell me how some cops are actually good people with good hearts who just want to help people. There's no such thing as a good cop and I'll shout it from the rooftops until the day I die, no irony found in the fact that it may well be a cop who kills me for being on the roof in the first place.
Calling them pigs is an insult to pigs.
I hope her family can find peace.
