IMHO, there are two reasons to take a puppy to obedience school. First, is to teach the human how to train the puppy and how to speak to the puppy in a language it can understand. Second is to give the puppy an opportunity to socialize with other dogs in a safe environment. I think the value in obedience school depends on how experienced, comfortable and successful you have been with training a dog in the past. Puppy school lesson #1:
Puppies don't fail. It is the humans that fail their puppies!
