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.
