Make sure the puppy is at least 8 weeks old when you first get him or her. This will help you avoid future problems by giving him time to socialize and learn important life lessons from his or her mom and litter mates.
You can start dog training classes at 8 weeks of age. Although at this age, I suggest private sessions for vaccination reasons.

Call where you plan on taking them, cause some do have specific ages. Some offer puppy socialization, where there is no specific lessons but just common sense and fun for the puppy and owner. Other consideration is immunizations. Ask the vet when it's OK to have the puppy around others. There's alot of contagious illnesses puppies are prone to before they are fully immunized!

Well most of the time they should be in it as soon as you can get them in the sooner the better just like with little kids the sooner you can teach them something the better off they will be... Good Luck and congrats on the new puppy
