I'm surprised at what your vet said. They are done with shots at 11 or 12 weeks. Socialization is so important. Our first two dogs didn't have it; our last two did. Puppy kindergarten was suggested by two different vets. But I would try to find a class given by a private trainer as opposed to joining a group at Petsmart, whose groups are usually much larger. And Petsmart itself probably has a lot more germs than a private trainer's venue would have. My golden is lame right now, but he's always good with puppies. You might try an older dog as well.
