The Good Neighbor Dog Obedience Club, Inc. is proud to announce that the AKC S.T.A.R.^sm Puppy Program will now be included with our Beginners training class.  The AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy Program rewards responsible owners who take the time to train and socialize their new puppies.  The program is a natural precursor to the AKC Canine Good Citizen® Test.  “S.T.A.R.” stands for Socialization, Training, Activity and a Responsible owner, all of the things a puppy needs to have a good life.

The S.T.A.R. Puppy Program teaches dogs and their owners the first important steps to becoming responsible members of the community.   We are proud to see dog owners actively seeking ways to help their puppies start life on the right ‘paw’.

To earn their medals, the participants enroll their puppies in the Beginners training class instructed by AKC Approved CGC Evaluator, Camille Robinson.  Classes included valuable training tips for puppy owners – such as how to housetrain – and lessons on practical skills for puppies – such as coming when called.  The program is open to all dogs.  Puppies can begin training at four (4) months of age and have received the necessary vaccines and they can enroll in S.T.A.R. Puppy Program at any point up until their first birthday.

At the end of the Beginners course, the S.T.A.R. Puppy test is administered.  Upon passing, owners and their puppies are enrolled in the S.T.A.R. Puppy Program and receive an S.T.A.R. Puppy package which includes:

A frameable certificate

• S.T.A.R. Puppy medal
• AKC Puppy Handbook
• Discount enrollment in AKC Companion Animal Recovery
• Subscription to monthly e-mail newsletter that includes training tips
