AKC S.T.A.R. PUPPY TRAINING      

Running for 6 weeks  Starting Wednesday, December 2, 2026

AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy Training is a foundational 6-week training and socialization course designed to give young dogs and owners the best start together.  Week 6 will be testing for AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy Certification for those puppies who are up to one year old.

The class is open to puppies who are old enough to have completed vaccines.  Vaccine records will be checked for all dogs before admission to class.  Dogs too old for S.T.A.R. certification may test for CGC Certification on the recommendation of the class instructor or may continue to the next Beginner Pet Obedience class to earn CGC Certification.  

In order to gain Star Puppy certification, owners must attend all six classes.   If an emergency or health issue causes a missed class, makeup classes can be worked out with the instructor.

There will be no class the week of Dec 23, and class may be canceled/rescheduled due to weather.

Susan Pettyjohn will teach this class.
