S.T.A.R. Puppy is for 10 weeks to 8 months old. In this class we cover learning theory and how to communicate effectively with your puppy using AKC’s S.T.A.R. Puppy skills. You will learn how to teach basic obedience skills, tackle common puppy issues, and build relationship and engagement to lay a solid foundation for living together. Skills covered include, loose leash walking, recall, and basic behaviors, such as sit, down, and stay. In the last class we will test for AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy. Testing forms provided.

Please contact Hanna at hanna@hrgtraining-walking.com with any questions.

The course includes support videos and weekly handouts provided via email. Test forms handed out at week 5.

• Lots of small, easy-to-chew, high-value treats (this is from the dog’s perspective; they should love what they are getting).
• Flat buckle or martingale collar, harness and 4-6’ leashes
• If your dog is active and likes to bark, bring something to occupy them during down time.

REGISTRATION IS BY DOG. DO NOT REGISTER A SECOND PERSON - YOU WILL END UP BEING CHARGED TWICE.
