Pasanita Obedience Club Presents

AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy Program

Are you a responsible puppy owner? The American Kennel Club’s STAR Puppy program  is designed to reward owners who take their puppies to training classes. “STAR” is an acronym for the four critical parts of puppy raising: Socialization, Training, Activity, and Responsibility.

The AKC recognizes that well-trained puppies make better companions and are less likely to be relinquished to shelters. In fact, behavior problems are the #1 reason for giving up a dog to a rescue. The STAR Puppy program is an incentive program for responsible puppy ownership. Working towards this goal will give you and your puppy a head start toward a lifetime of great behavior.

In order to be eligible for testing, puppies need to attend 6 group dog training classes with their owner. The program is open to all puppies up to one year of age, regardless of breed or mix. There is a maximum of 10 puppies per class and there are 6 consecutive classes. The cost of this class which includes written material and the AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy book is $125 due at the first class. We accept cash or checks.

After attending the 6 classes, we can test your puppy at graduation which takes place during the final class. All puppies that complete the 6 classes will receive a Pasanita Obedience Club Puppy Graduation Certificate. For those not successfully completing the S.T.A.R. examination you may retest  on items not completed at a future  class providing your puppy is still under a year of age.

Once you have passed the S.T.A.R. Puppy test, you will be handed a signed application to send  to AKC to become certified. From AKC you will receive a frameable certificate and be registered by the AKC as a S.T.A.R. Puppy. You will receive an ongoing monthly Email from AKC which includes training tips and up to date information that every dog owner needs to know.

For those who successfully complete the S.T.A.R. Puppy exam, you will have the option of testing for the AKC Canine Good Citizen. This will take place during an additional 7th class. The fee for this is $10.
