I think 4 1/2 months is just about an ideal age for puppy class. She will have had all her shots( hopefully) by then. Everything you are doing with her now to socialize her is great!
The more people she is in contact with the better off she will be.
Dogs as well but only dogs you know have had all their shots.

I have already taught her to sit, lie down, come, leave, and give me a paw which she is doing really well and happily. I am also teaching her to walk on the lead round the house and garden. I hope I am not attempting to move too fast, but I only train her for short periods at a time.
If you have her doing ALL this at 9 1/2 weeks you have got one smart pup on your hands! Short training sessions is the way to go. 3 or 4
5 or 10 minute sessions a day is ideal. The point is not to overwhelm the pup but keep her interested and occupied.

Keep up the great work and good luck when puppy class starts.
:D
