Puppy Training – AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy Program

Program Cost: $300 for 6 weeks of training

Requirements: Puppies must have all their shots prior to starting.

Overview of AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy Program

The S.T.A.R. program, standing for Socialization, Training, Activity, and Responsibility, is designed to help puppies start on the right path with socialization and basic commands, building a strong foundation for the Canine Good Citizen title.

Benefits of Early Training

Starting with puppy training allows owners to communicate effectively with their puppies, laying the groundwork for good behavior and obedience.

How It Works

  • Classes meet once a week over six weeks.
  • Homework assignments follow each session.
  • At the end of the program, puppies take the AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy test. Passing allows for enrollment in the AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy Program.
