AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy training classes teach the foundation for basic functional skills such as sit, down and come and provides the opportunity to socialize with other puppies and people.  A positive reinforcement approach is used to teach young puppies the basics of skills.

When puppies are older, or near the end of a 6-weeks class, they will be able to perform S.T.A.R. behaviors more independently.   The AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy Program is an incentive program for loving dog owners who have taken the time to take their puppies through a basic training class.
