No, you don't need to wait until Blue has his rabies vaccination to enroll him in a training class - in fact, it's recommended to start puppy kindergarten classes as early as 7-8 weeks of age, as long as he's current on his puppy shots for parvo and distemper. So I would suggest looking for a good puppy class in your area, and enrolling him right away :)
