Morning everyone,
Lexi & Oliver met their trainer yesterday and got along really well with her. She wanted me to get them into puppy kindergarten after their second round of shots (July 29, 12 wks old). She said that it isn't imperative that they have their third round of shots as the class is really small (6 pups including mine) and everything is bleached/cleaned really well before each class. I should add that her reasoning behind this is that puppies have a "socialization window" that pretty much ends around 16 weeks, and that its really important to get puppies out and interacting with new people & pups during that window. So what do you guys think?
Should I wait until they get their third round of shots and possibly miss out on the socialization window? Or do you think its ok to get them in after their second round? They mainly pick up illnesses through other dog's poop, right? Any advice would be greatly appreciated
