Puppy Classes
There are two types of puppy classes - both are beneficial for puppies.
1. Drop-In puppy class - This is a puppy class where you don't need to sign up, just bring proof of vaccinations (at least 2 sets) and $$ and show up. It is best to get to the class 10 minutes ahead as they won't let you in once the doors have closed. This is an excellent way to help socialize your puppy to other puppies and their owners, possibly children as well.
2. Structured 7 week puppy class - These classes are sturctured 7 week long classes. You must sign up prior to the class starting. These classes also require proof of vaccinations. The structured class is set up for socialization with the same group of puppies and includes some basic obedience, behavior problem solving sessions.
I recommend both sessions, you can't over do it with the puppy socialization. Each has its strong points, but your puppy will definitely get something out of both of them.
