Special Considerations:
Vaccinations: Ideally your puppy should have their 2nd round of shots (typically received around the 12th week) to join class.
Attendance Limit: Each enrolled puppy may have up to two people attending. Children over 11 years old can attend with a parent.
Vaccination Records: Proof of your puppy’s vaccination records is mandatory.
Vaccination Recommendations:
The American Society of Veterinarians suggests that puppies as young as 8 weeks can benefit from puppy classes. To participate, your puppy should have received their second round of shots (around 10-12 weeks) and be vaccinated against distemper, parvovirus, and Bordetella.
