| Puppy Class? Why should you enroll your puppy in class at 8 weeks of age? The AVMA (American Veterinary Medical Association) says: "Obedience Training and Socialization" ~ A MUST for every good family dog, regardless of size or breed! Puppies may start classes when they are as young as 7-8 weeks old. Check with your veterinarian for class recommendations." (to see full statement, click here) ~ The American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior (AVSAB) recently released a position statement on the use of punishment for behavior modification (training), which received some press from AAHA (American Animal Hospital Association -- looked to as the "gold standard" for quality veterinary care). Top Notch Dog Training strongly supports the AVSAB's statement and joins with the AAHA in supporting the position statement..
