Welcome
to the AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy Program!
At the American Kennel Club®, we’re not just
champion dogs. We’re the dogs’ champion—all
dogs. We believe that all dogs deserve training
and a responsible owner and our goal is to
reward responsible dog ownership.
The AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy is an exciting new
program designed to get dog owners and their
puppies off to a good start. The AKC S.T.A.R.
Puppies Program is an incentive program for
loving dog owners who have taken the time to
take their puppies through a basic training
class.
The Benefits of Training
Training classes teach you how to best
communicate with your puppy. Organized training
classes also provide an opportunity for your dog
to socialize with other dogs. In classes aimed
at earning the AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy distinction,
you’ll be able to get information on all of your
puppy-raising questions including housetraining,
chewing, and the most effective way to teach
practical skills such as coming when called. AKC
S.T.A.R. Puppy training is a natural lead in to
the AKC® Canine Good Citizen® Program!
Learn to sit, down, stay, come when called,
walking on leash
and more!
How It Works
A minimum of
6-weeks is taught
by an AKC approved CGC Evaluator.
Your puppy can be up to 1 year old to be eligible
to be enrolled in the AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy
Program.
You'll attend any puppy or basic training class
at least 6 weeks. Your instructor will
administer the AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy test at the
end of the course. Upon passing the test, you'll
get an application to send to AKC® for
enrollment in the AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy Program.
All dogs are welcome to participate in the AKC
S.T.A.R. Puppy Program including purebreds and
mixed breeds.
