Welcoming a new pup into your home is an exciting and rewarding experience. As your furry friend grows, it is essential to provide them with the proper skills and training they need to become well-behaved members of society. This is where AKC C.G.C (Canine Good Citizen) and S.T.A.R (Socialization, Training, Activity, and Responsibility) Puppy Classes come into play.

AKC C.G.C and S.T.A.R Puppy Classes are specialized training programs designed to ensure your puppy develops good behavior, learns important socialization skills, and becomes a well-rounded and obedient companion. These classes are offered by professional trainers who are dedicated to helping your furry friend reach their full potential.

The American Kennel Club (AKC) is a renowned organization that promotes responsible dog ownership and advocates for the well-being and advancement of all canine companions. The AKC C.G.C program emphasizes responsible pet ownership and rewards dogs that demonstrate good manners and obedience in everyday situations.

During AKC C.G.C classes, your puppy will be taught essential behaviors such as sitting politely for petting, greeting people and other dogs appropriately, walking politely on a leash, and responding to basic obedience commands like 'sit,' 'stay,' and 'come.' These skills are crucial for creating a strong foundation of behavior and developing a bond between you and your furry friend.

S.T.A.R Puppy Classes, on the other hand, focus on early socialization experiences to shape your pup's behavior in a positive way. These classes aim to expose your puppy to various stimuli, such as different people, dogs, and environments, to ensure they grow up to be confident and well-adjusted pets. Additionally, your pup will learn basic obedience commands and receive guidance on proper care, nutrition, and overall well-being.

By enrolling your puppy in AKC C.G.C and S.T.A.R Puppy Classes, you are investing in their future. Not only will your furry friend become a well-behaved and socially adept companion, but they will also learn valuable skills that can open doors for various activities and certifications down the road.

Once your puppy completes the AKC C.G.C program, they are eligible to take the official Canine Good Citizen test. This test evaluates their knowledge of basic commands and good behavior in real-life scenarios. Achieving the Canine Good Citizen title is a significant achievement and sets your dog apart as a responsible and well-trained member of the community.

The S.T.A.R Puppy program, on the other hand, provides a foundation for further training and certification opportunities, such as therapy dog work, obedience trials, and agility competitions. By starting your puppy's training at an early age, you are setting them up for success in future endeavors.

In addition to the practical benefits, participating in AKC C.G.C and S.T.A.R Puppy Classes can also be a fun way to bond with your new furry family member. The classes provide a supportive environment where you can meet like-minded dog owners, share experiences, and learn together.
