How Old Should Your Puppy Be for Puppy School?
This is something that confuses a lot of people and as a puppy school trainer, I find this to be a very important thing to get right. Breeders and vets often advice against socialisation before the puppy is fully vaccinated at 16 weeks of age. Unfortunately, this is not good advice to follow. If you follow this advice you will end up with behavioural issues such as fearfulness, timidness, anti-social behaviours and aggression. And notice, I’m not saying you might end up with these issues, I’m saying you will!
Why? Because studies have taught us that if a puppy isn’t socialised before 16 weeks of age they will never be completely comfortable in unfamiliar situations. No amount of training will change this if a puppy lacked all positive socialisation experiences within the first 4 months. This is a survival instinct inherited from wolves. Things that puppies meet positively before 16 weeks of age becomes normal and acceptable. The more the better! However, after 16 weeks they change and aren’t adaptable to new situations any more. This is very common with rescue dogs that come from bad situations where they got no socialisation what so ever within the first 4 months. But, unfortunately, it’s also very common with puppies that are protected from experiences by their loving owners until the last vaccination. I’ve met hundreds of dogs like this, with severe anxiety and fearfulness -and in worst cases aggression!
8-12 Weeks Is the Best Time for Puppy Training and Socialisation
A puppy’s key developmental period ends around 12 weeks of age. This is why the first 12 weeks are the most important time for all kind of positive socialization. During this time a puppy is very receptive and adaptable to learning new things and they will get over new, first a bit scary situations a lot quicker than they would later on. So this is by far the easiest time for socialisation! If you want to raise a balanced, confident, social and friendly dog, this is the ideal time for puppy classes too. But don’t worry if your pup is older than 12 weeks of age, the 16 weeks of age limit still applies for socialisation experiences!

The Key Is a Good Learning Foundation
All puppies need a good learning foundation to become confident and balanced adult dogs. That’s why training a puppy is more than just teaching basic commands such as sit and stay. The most important aspect of the learning process is to introduce puppies to the environments and situations they are likely to experience during their lives. Socialisation with different objects, people, dogs, other animals, surroundings, noises etc. is very important for the future of a puppy.
Your Puppy’s brain is like a sponge and every experience is stored away in their memory affecting their personality. While a puppy might be born with a certain temperament, it is the way they are raised and the experiences they have that will truly determine their personality. The more positive and enriching experiences, the more confident your dog will be as an adult.
The Key Is a Good Learning Foundation
Your behaviour and the way the puppy is handled will influence their development. Since punitive handling and harsh corrections will damage your pup as they mature, stay away from punitive trainers and any equipment that can be harmful, including shock, choke or prong collars.
Puppies need gentle guidance into making good decisions in their daily life. They need to be allowed to investigate and given positive reinforcement for good behaviour. They also need to be redirected from any unwanted behaviour. All puppies need boundaries, but these must be given in a humane way. A puppy that experiences fear or rough handling as growing up is more likely to become reactive and show aggressive behaviour later in life.
The time and effort spent giving your puppy a good learning foundation will pay off throughout their life. Puppies are certainly cute, but raising one can be very challenging. Seeing a pup develop into a confident adult, however, is worth all the hard work.
What is puppy training?
Puppy training is the process of teaching your puppy essential skills and good behaviour from an early age. It focuses on basic commands like sit, stay, come, and leash manners, as well as socialisation, impulse control, and problem-solving. Puppy training helps your dog develop good habits, builds a strong bond between you and your dog, and sets the foundation for a well-behaved dog in adulthood. It also addresses important skills for dealing with distractions, meeting new people or animals, and managing fear or anxiety in different environments.
What age can my puppy join puppy classes?
Any time from 8 weeks to 16 weeks of age, after their first vaccination at 6 weeks of age. Puppy schools are never run in public parks, only in private and safe spaces with no increased health risks from un-known dogs.
When is the best time to join puppy school?
As early as possible from 8 weeks of age. The best time to join puppy school is typically between 8 to 16 weeks of age. This is when puppies are most receptive to learning and socialising, and their critical developmental period for socialisation occurs. Early training helps set a strong foundation for good behaviour, builds confidence, and reduces the risk of behavioural issues in the future. However, even if your puppy is older, it’s never too late to start training and socialising them! Our teen classes are great for older puppies!
My puppy hasn't been fully vaccinated yet, can I still join puppy school?
Yes, in fact the most important socialisation period for dogs is 8-12 weeks of age, this is ideal for puppy school as well. Studies show no increased health risks in puppy schools and plenty of benefits. Puppy schools should always be run in private locations, not in public outdoors spaces. All our locations are safe and cleaned with F10 which vets use as well.
