| I wouldn't take my dog to petsmart until he's up to date with all vaccinations (16 weeks). Too many ppl take there dogs in there and you don't know if they have been vaccinated.
I like Home Depot - I have never yet taken my dog through there and another dog has been there. It's clean and great for socialization.
With parvo being one of the biggest killers ofyoung Rotties, the first 4 months you have to be very careful to what you expose them to.
I wont let my young dogs (of any breed) play with other dogs if I can't see proof of vaccination - sorry but my pup's life isn't worth the risk.
Good luck with the socialization. Talk to friends with dogs, if their dogs are vaccinated allow them to socialize and play - if not - don't until the dog is at least 6mths old.
All training classes should require proof of vaccination - if they don't - I wouldn't attend.
Good luck
Lisi
