I am writing the aritcle I found in the Dog Fancy Magazine that goes into a little more detail about our STAR puppy class.

The American Kennel Club has added the STAR Puppy level to its canine Good Citizen program. This rewards owners whose puppies have completed at least a six-week basic training class. STAR stands for socialization, training, activity, and a responsible owner. Practically everything a puppy and their woners need. The program is open to purebred and mixed breed dogs up to 1 year.

Druing the six week course owners learn about basic puppy care and training. The puppies also have a chance to socialize with other dogs. At the end of teh class, puppies are given a multi-item test by an AKC approved CGC evaluator. STAR graduates receive a medal, certificate and and AKC Puppy Handbook.
