WHY START PUPS AT 8 WEEKS OLD?
- Fastest learning time in their lives
- Improved vaccines protect pups through mom's immune system
- Same protocol as that of major veterinary universities that offer puppy classes for pups as young as 7 weeks old
Studies point out the importance of early group sessions for mental & social development, with the fastest, strongest benefits for contact with people before the pup is 16 weeks old. PuppyLove is a great place to start! No need to wait for entire puppy shot series due to medical advances.
World-renowned lecturer, trainer, researcher Dr. Ian Dunbar recommends pups meet 100 people before they are 8 weeks old, and that they meet another 100 people before they are 16 weeks old. Dunbar is the founder of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers, the largest dog trainers group in the world.
