Puppy Preschool


 Share

Recommended Posts

Hi all

I'm in Perth and am thinking about going to Northern Suburbs Dog Obedience. My puppy is only 9 weeks old though and isn't due for his second vaccination until he's 12 weeks old. Is it okay to take him to puppy preschool now? Or should I wait? I know it's probably best to wait until after his 2nd vacc but socialisation is so important... help!!

Thanks :cry:

Northern suburbs hold puppy class from 8 weeks so you will be fine, he will be kept safe. Call them.

You can go anywhere with him in your arms. It's a tough one, the socialisation V vaccination. Socialisation is so important, you need to find ways for him to meet some canine friends and take him to as many people/children places you can.

Our vet and breeder advised us to wait till after his second vacc so we are only just getting to go this week (at 14 weeks) later than we wanted but at least we know he is protected.

I would check what the Parvo situation is in your area too - when we first got our girl, there was a lot of stuff in the news about new outbreaks of parvo through Sydney/Wollongong, so we were not willing to take the risk. This was earlier this year.

I lost two puppies from parvo many many years ago when it first was around, it is heartbreaking. I will never take that risk again.

vet clincs disinfect everything before class, and will take pups who have had their first vaccine. By 12 weeks, most clinics won;t accept them as they are a bit too old for baby puppy classes.
