S.T.A.R.
Puppy Program is Now Available!
The
S.T.A.R. Puppy Program is an exciting new program designed to get
dog owners and their puppies off to a good start. It is an incentive
program for loving dog owners who have taken the time to take their
puppies through a basic puppy training and socialization class.
When you attend our Puppy Playschool class for 6 weeks,
your instructor will administer the AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy test and
Your puppy will receive the AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy Medal when
he passes the test! Didn't sign up for Puppy Playschool?
You can still take the test, provided that your dog has been in
a Beginner Obedience class with a certified CGC/STAR Puppy instructor.
To pass, your puppy simply demonstrates basic behaviors
that we have covered in class, including showing that he has learned
to walk a short distance on a leash, and that he can sit, down,
and come when called. He must also demonstrate that he will allow
you to take away a treat or toy, allow petting by a person other
than you, and allow you to examine his ears and feet. So go ahead
and sign up for Puppy Playschool!
Your dog will soon be strutting his stuff!
Socialize your puppy now! According to the American
Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior (AVSAB)
The primary and most important time for puppy socialization is
the first three months of life. (Read
