What's the right age for puppy training class?

Good evening! Now that I'm not so freaked out about the cherry eye thing (thanks for the support, everyone!) I'm trying to focus on more positive things. Can someone tell me when they think it's the optimal age to take a bully pup to puppy training class? My pup will have the last of his shots at 16 weeks so I'm trying to plan ahead!

Thanks for the feedback everyone! I'll start looking for a class now since 16 weeks is right around the corner. And the article is great!

I listened to them and Audrey is now having aggression issues. I wish I had taken her much earlier now, but now it's too late and there's nothing I can do about it.

the beginning age was 10 weeks. Hundreds of pups came through classes and not one case of infectious disease. So, I agree with the article, the importance of socialization for outweighs any health risk.
