AVSAB Position Paper on Puppy Socialization

"The primary and most important time for puppy socialization is the first three months of
life.1, 2 During this time puppies should be exposed to as many new people, animals,
stimuli and environments as can be achieved safely and without causing overstimulation
manifested as excessive fear, withdrawal or avoidance behavior. For this reason, the
American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior believes that it should be the
standard of care for puppies to receive such socialization before they are fully
vaccinated."

The paragraph above is from the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior. You can read the rest of the paper if you go to the files section on the left.

This group is only for pups between the ages of 8 weeks to 18 weeks. As per the previous paragraph, the importance of safe early socialization can't be overstated.

This is a 6 week class that will address most puppy issues. We will offer housebreaking tips, discuss immediate issues weekly, puppy play time and of course we will be training our little guys and gals to be "thinking" dogs and good household companions.
