I wanted to share some important information about puppy school.

Over the last few weeks, we’ve received several calls from concerned new puppy families who have been advised by their veterinarian not to attend puppy school until their puppy is fully vaccinated — and in some cases, to wait TWO WEEKS after the final vaccination!

As a veterinarian myself, I find this incredibly disappointing. Despite everything we now know about puppy socialisation and sensitive learning periods, this misinformation is still being given to families with young puppies.

Please know that waiting until after vaccinations are complete can leave it far too late for many puppies to comfortably adjust to new experiences, environments, people, and other dogs during this critical developmental stage.

The Australian Veterinary Association advocates for puppies to attend reputable puppy classes before they are fully vaccinated, provided appropriate hygiene and safety protocols are in place.
Early socialisation is essential for supporting confident, resilient, and well-adjusted dogs.

If you’re unsure whether puppy school is right for your puppy, speak with a qualified trainer or veterinarian who understands the importance of early behavioural development alongside disease prevention.

At Dogs United, Dr Rachel — veterinarian at Foothills Animal Hospital-WA — runs puppy school alongside Kelby, our IMDT Distinction-qualified trainer. Rest assured, you and your puppy are in good hands.
