The following three links, regarding the importance of puppy socialization at an early age, address why CCDTC strongly supports allowing puppies in classes as early as 12 weeks of age.
Puppy Kindergarten
7 weeks - limited class sizes (for puppies must be under 5 months of age at start of class)
One dog per handler unless the instructor has given you express permission.
Note: 1st week of class is Orientation and is for “humans” only. Get your puppy off to a good start with a great foundation. These obedience classes are designed especially for puppies three to five months of age. Socialization and basic skills are emphasized, helping you train your dog to have good manners, while still having fun.
Please check with your veterinarian to make sure that your puppies have had enough of the puppy shot series to be ready to take classes.
