We have decided to
do AKC
S.T.A.R. Puppy testing like we
do
Canine Good Citizen CGC testing, quarterly
so we will test for S.T.A.R. Puppy March 4th, 2012 Sunday from 9-11AM at Tarzana Park in Tarzana, CA.
The testing is free for students who meet the criteria and
graduated classes with us (bring your class
certificate). Beginning level students may do
S.T.A.R. Puppy testing free and Intermediate students may do CGC testing
free. CGC TESTING IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC EVEN IF YOU HAVE NOT DONE
OUR CLASS AND THE
FEE IS $15. If you want to acquire the skills for the CGC test,
enroll in our intermediate course (prerequisite is beginning
level obedience).
If you would
like to see our schedule in calendar
form it is available at google
calendars and it is posted on the
blog
spot.
