I don't remember exactly when Dex got his rabies shot...possibly around 12-14 weeks? Ask your vet.
I would wait until he gets the rabies shot to take him out in public. I think most puppy classes require they have this shot before attending. From his b-day he is close to 4 months so I would think your vet would be giving the rabies by now.
Dex started puppy class right around 4-5 months old - we found it to be really good for getting him some socialization and learning basic commands (and for teaching us how to train a puppy).

I s/w vet's office today. They indicated rabies is usually done at 6 months when pups get desexed. I told her mine came to me desexed. She indicated that the vet doesn't like to give too many shots at the same time. My rabies appt. is 6/23rd. I'll find out if I can get it sooner.
I guess I can't start classes in case my pup get bit by another pup with rabies. In the meantime, I'll be sure to only let my pup near other dogs I know who have had all shots including rabies. I don't think there's any chance of a squirrel or bird with rabies biting my pup while on walks, is there? I'm talking to a few different trainers to start Obedience Training.
