A good trainer is Carol Peeler, at
http://www.positivek9training.com/ -- She teaches you how to use operant conditioning to train your dog, plus at the end of each class your puppy has a chance to socialize with other dogs, which is important in preventing aggression towards other dogs.
As for boarding, I would suggest you try to find a friend who is willing to take care of your puppy instead of sticking him/her in a kennel. But if you have no other options, there's Seneca Hill off of rt 7 in Great Falls
http://www.senecahillvet.com/site/view/Home.pml and Dogtopia in Tysons Corner. You can find info about Dogtopia on positivek9training's site.
