We have decided to do AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy testing like we do Canine Good Citizen testing, quarterly ... so we will test for S.T.A.R. Puppy on June 5th, along with the CGC students (intermediate level). We require students to do beginning obedience plus 2 puppy parties (or private socializing appointment) to get the requirements for  S.T.A.R. Puppy testing!
