So a good clean puppy class after first possible second shots and a vet ok... covering my butt here and go.
I had and will continue to take pups out on first shots but it has to be the owners comfort and understaqnding that a lot must get done by 16 weeks not to have fear and aggression concerns come up later.

I understand what you are saying...I was thinking more in line with Petco and I do get nervous because it is a lot of new pet owners and new instructors...and I am not sure just how clean they really are. You are the trainer so I bow to your experience...
