Puppy class for at least 6 weeks. Your instructor will administer the AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy test at the end of the course. Upon passing the test, you’ll get an application to send to AKC® for enrollment in the AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy Program. All dogs are welcome to participate in the program including purebreds and mixed breeds. If there is inclement weather that does not allow us to meet in person, the class will be completed through an alternate option. We highly recommend coming to all 6 classes over the 6 week period. If you need additional help with the curriculum you can schedule a (paid) individual lesson. A minimum of 4 classes is required to graduate to the next class. This class is available to repeat again if you feel your puppy is not ready to move on. You can use a package to split between puppies, but one session is used for each puppy. One make up class is possible if we are currently offering open enrollment puppy classes at no additional cost. You must notify trainer.
