For any of our puppy classes, puppies must be up to date for their age, with at least the first set of DHPP shots, usually given between 6-8 weeks of age. Veterinarians will suggest different guidelines for your puppy, so please take their advice into consideration. We also require Bordetella vaccine.
We agree with the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior’s Position statement: “In general, puppies can start puppy socialization classes as early as 7-8 weeks of age. Puppies should receive a minimum of one set of vaccines at least 7 days prior to the first class and a first de-worming. They should be kept up to date throughout the class.”
For non-puppy classes, all dogs must have: the following vaccines:
• DHPP
• Rabies
• Bordetella
• We also suggest an H3N2 canine flu vaccine, but it is not required
