What vaccinations are required for group classes?

Most Walnut Creek group classes require DHPP (or equivalent) and rabies appropriate to age, and many also ask for Bordetella. Puppy classes may accept a current vaccine schedule rather than a full adult set — confirm with the provider before the first meeting.

Are group classes right for a reactive dog?

Usually no. If your dog lunges, barks, or shuts down around other dogs, a busy classroom can rehearse the problem. Start with private or carefully managed parallel walks, then graduate to group work only when a trainer confirms your dog can learn near distractions.
