You may have heard that you should wait to take your puppy anywhere until they have had all of their shots. While you should be smart about where you take your puppy, that does not mean that they should not go anywhere before they are 16 weeks old. Try to avoid places where there is the potential for dogs that are unvaccinated or sick. Always carry your puppy or put them in a cart when visiting places like the vet or pet store. Do not let them sniff or go potty outside of these places as well. 

There are still safe places to take them during this age for fun, exercise and socialization! I make sure to sanitize the room before each puppy class and playtime session. Owners must provide proof of vaccination before coming onto the propery to keep everyone safe. 

Please read this article from AVMA (American Veterinary Medical Association) on why early socialization is important

• Your puppy must be between 8 - 20 weeks at the start of class.
• Your puppy must be current on vaccinations (Distemper [DHLPP or DHPP], Bordetella [kennel cough]) and Rabies if older than 16wks. There must be at least 2 weeks after your puppy's first round of DHPP to safely attend a class. A copy of records must be provided in order to attend.
• Space is limited so pre-registration is required!
