The American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior (AVSAB) strongly supports early puppy socialization, including enrolling puppies in puppy classes. This is crucial for developing well-adjusted dogs and preventing future behavioral problems, a responsibility that we, as pet owners, should be aware of and act upon. 

**Please note if your puppy or dog is reactive, overly nervous or cautious, or has a history of aggression, please reach out for a free, 10-minute assessment. This is a service we provide to ensure we can set you and your dog up for success, showing our care and support for you and your pet.
