We have been teaching puppy preschool classes in Australia through Clicker Academy since 1990. Following Ian Dunbars concept and example and Dr Kersti Seksel model and structure. Puppy playtime is incredibly important!

I just interviewed Jean Donaldson for a podcast and it came up that it's a "thing" now for some puppy classes to not allow puppy play time. I guess the thought is that the puppies should be paying attention and learning to be controlled, not learning that other dogs are fun and good.

I do not agree with this and would not recommend a class for YOUNG puppies that does not include play time. But some points:

1. As I mention in the Be Your Puppy's Advocate booklet, https://bit.ly/PUPPYSADVOCATE, group play should only be for puppies under 12 weeks old, possibly a bit older for neotenous breeds. Puppies older than that should play only in pairs and the pairs should be selected for compatibility. There is little risk of real aggression with puppies under 12 weeks old, but that changes rapidly as the puppies exit the critical socialization period.

2. As Dr. Bright talks about in Puppy Culture https://bit.ly/PUPPYCULTUREVOD, one of the big benefits of a play and learn puppy class is that the puppy learns transitions...now we do this, now we do that. We ramp up and play, we ramp down and relax, we focus. Dr. Bright talks about how it's these transitions that can get adult dogs into trouble and how important it is to shape the ability to transition between different modes while the puppies are still very young and malleable.

3. No one ever returned a dog to a breeder or a shelter because the dog liked other dogs too much. But dogs get returned or relinquished all the time because of dog aggression. So, absolutely, find a puppy class that includes puppy play time (for puppies under 12 weeks old, play in pairs for older puppies).
