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.
Baby Puppy Class
4 weeks - limited class sizes (for puppies 8 weeks to 19 weeks of age)
One dog per handler unless the instructor has given you express permission.
Goals: introduce the puppies to novel experiences and obstacles, practice leash walking, and provide basic training ideas. Discuss crate training, house training, and making vet visits and grooming a good experience for puppies and people alike.
Enrollment: up to 10 puppies. They will be divided into 2 groups of no more than 5 puppies each and grouped by size when possible.
Question: do we require a health statement ensuring puppy is healthy or a vaccination statement? CCDTC does not require any specific vaccination protocol. Rabies is not required in the county until 6 months of age. We do require a statement from your veterinarian that the puppy is appropriately vaccinated.
Safety Protocol: Depending on COVID-19 status for the county, each student will have a primary work area. Masks covering nose and mouth are required. Face Shields are fine, but cotton or paper masks are REQUIRED.
Fees: CCDTC Members-$15, Non-Members $50
