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 want to take the time to bring
their puppies to 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 and
frameable certificate 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 & S.T.A.R. Puppy certified instructor.
To pass the test, 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
in the first three months of life. (Read
