​Vaccinations 

​

Puppies require a course of vaccinations, and immunity is not complete until the course is finished.  However, the vaccination course cannot be completed until most of the socialisation period has passed.  Therefore, there needs to be a compromise made between socialisation to prevent behaviour problems, and isolation to prevent infections.  

This risk of infection is minimised by 

1. Having a primary (or temporary) vaccination before socialisation 

2. Socialisation ONLY with other vaccinated puppies or adult dogs 

3. Socialising in clean environments (ie not in public areas or grassed/outdoor areas)

4. For protection for all the puppies, please avoid all public areas until the completion of your puppy course 

All puppies enrolled in our classes must be up to date with their vaccination regime (first vaccine at 6-8 weeks & second vaccine at 10-14 weeks) at the time of the classes commencing.  If the vaccination has not been performed by Vogue Vets, proof of vaccination will be required before joining the first class.

​

Injuries 

​

Puppy play and socialisation can be boisterous, occasionally injuries can occur.  Your qualified trainer is experienced in teaching pups how to play nicely, making injuries less likely, but accidents can still occur.

 

Behaviour 

​

Puppy behaviour is complex and influenced by many factors including socialisation, genetics and the environment.  Puppy classes do not guarantee a perfectly behaved dog, although they are the first step in the right direction for your puppy.  Socialisation and training must continue throughout a dog’s whole life.  

​

The minimal risk associated with puppy classes held in a controlled environment must be weighed up by individual owners against the potential for social and behavioural development problems. 

​
