*Vaccinations

• Puppies ideally should have completed their primary vaccinations.

• Some schedules (e.g. Lepto 4) mean there may be a longer gap between doses.

• Early, controlled socialisation has big benefits for puppies and a strong role in preventing behaviour struggles.

To minimise risk until they are fully vaccinated:

Puppies should be carried in to avoid outdoor contamination
They will have their own water bowl
They should avoid close contact with other puppies (unless they are fully vaccinated).
Advise me if this is the case.

• Classes are run in a clean, managed environment, but owners accept responsibility for attendance.

• Veterinary advice will likely vary but worth discussing the risks v benefits of attending supervised indoor classes.
