A dog question for those of you who either are in the military and live in Germany or have lived in Germany.?

Question

Right now I live in Darmstadt, Germany and am moving to Mannheim,Germany whenever they have an opening in housing. As soon as we are settled I would really enjoy getting a pet for my family. The only problem is I don't know of any places at all or even close by that have any puppy kindergarten/obedience classes and I would very much like to have my future puppy go to classes and be sure that it gets as much socialization as possible. There are many ways to get a puppy through breeders that may or may not be selling a healthy pet but there are no ways (that I know of to make sure that the pet can be properly trained and socialized or enough information to make sure that after the pet becomes a part of the family that it will be made sure that it will be able to go with whomever when they go to their next duty station.
So if anyone knows of an English speaking puppy school around Mannheim, Germany please let me know. Thank you in advance.
