I'd venture to say this could perhaps be a difficult situation.

Training is a crucial part of puppyhood. I doubt there will much time devoted to the proper training a puppy needs in order to flourish into a great house dog. (e.g., not getting into the trash, sitting when told, heeling when told, mainly knowing you're Alpha.)
