that must be administered by an AKC approved CGC
evaluator. It is open to any puppy of any breed or
mixed breed, but the course must be completed before

Puppy Socialization classes vary widely in their
content, so be sure that you investigate the class to
be sure that it will meet your needs. Puppies need
a safe, controlled environment where they are
allowed to interact with other safe dogs or puppies,
but a knowledgeable trainer must be present to stop
any problems that may occur. These classes are
generally for puppies between 2 and 4 months of
age.
