We’re excited to launch our puppy socialization classes at Good Dog PDX

Your puppy may NOT attend if they have a contagious illness or parasites, and/or if they have had any diarrhea, lethargy, coughing or sneezing within 24 hours before coming to class.

Puppies aged 20 weeks and younger

• Required to have at least one round of Distemper, Parvo vaccines (DHPP or DAPP) and deworming, preferably administered by a vet, at least 7 days prior to attending any services.

• Required to have Bordetella vaccine 7 days prior to attending any services.

• We recommend a fecal at 16 weeks of age

• Please do NOT take your puppy to dog parks or non-puppy-specific daycares if attending our socialization classes

Puppies aged 20 weeks and older

• Distemper, Pravor vaccines (DHPP or DAPP). 

• Required to have Bordetella vaccine 7 days prior to attending any services.

• Required to have their Rabies vaccine by 6 months of age, and remain up to date per Oregon State Law. 

We encourage starting around 8 weeks of age.

The American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior/AVSAB recommends starting socializing and training before completing your puppy’s shots. While your puppy’s health is vulnerable at a young age, more dogs die from lack of early socialization than from disease.

• A semi-exercised, pottied puppy

• A puppy who does NOT go to dog parks or non-puppy-specific daycare AND has not had any lethargy, coughing, vomiting or diarrhea within 24 hours

• A puppy wearing both a collar and a front-clip harness (harness preferred, not required)

No, you can drop off your pup but you are more than welcome to stay for the session.
