Puppy Vaccinations and Class

We often receive questions from first-time pawrents about vaccinations and whether their puppies can attend classes before they’ve completed their full vaccine schedule. We encourage puppies to start our Perfect Puppy Program with just their first vaccination, and today, baby Aurora would like to explain why!

We firmly believe that introducing puppies to a positive learning environment during their critical socialisation and developmental period is essential for their ongoing success as they grow. Early training and positive exposures, particularly during this phase, plays a crucial role in shaping their behaviour, confidence, and social skills for the future.

At our school, the risk of exposure to illness is minimal. We have strict cleaning and disinfection protocols in place, and no puppy is allowed on the premises without a current vaccination or verified titre test results. Additionally, we maintain a strict “poo patrol” policy to ensure a clean and safe environment for all attendees!

In fact, attending one of our classes with a puppy who has only had their first vaccination carries much less risk than you potentially stepping in something unpleasant down the street and bringing that risk home to your puppy.

We want to ensure that your puppy’s experience is both safe and beneficial, laying the foundation for a well-adjusted and confident poochie. By getting them started in our puppy program at the right time, we set them up for full success in both their social and behavioural development.

If you have any concerns or questions, don’t hesitate to reach out. As always, we are here to help guide you and your puppy every step of the way!
