So my question is how is it possible to start puppy pre school when puppies are not immunised fully?
A. There is a huge amount of conflicting and confusing information and advice given by breeders, pet stores, vets and trainers. A medical argument is that if you take a puppy too early to puppy school s/he could get a fatal disease, therefore it is best to keep your puppy in cotton wool till s/he is four and a bit months old and has had all the required shots. However, there is absolutely no guarantee that a puppy that is kept in the house or backyard will not get a fatal disease, such as parvo virus, from off the shoes of a stranger coming into the house. Nowadays in most areas around Brisbane there are far less diseases about so that particular argument is less valid than it may have been in years gone by. The counter argument is that by the time a puppy is 4 months old it is clearly far too late for puppy school. It is almost 100% guaranteed that a puppy that does not get properly socialised to other puppies, things and places at a well run puppy is going to grow up developmentally
