Do you have a new puppy? Start the New Year out with a fun class with you and your new best friend. Mason Dixon Kennel club will be offering our next AKC Puppy S.T.A.R. class Starting March 13, 2023 at 5:15. This class is a great place to come and have fun with your puppy and strengthen your bond with them.
You will be beginning to learn how to teach your puppy how to work with you, not against you. Using clicker training we make it a positive and friendly experience for both of you.
We will be introducing all of the requirements of the AKC S.T.A.R. puppy program. This is a great foundation for moving forward with your puppy’s training.
Puppy training is different from adult training. We’re building a communication system between you and your dog and no two dogs are alike. What works for one pup will not work for another. The class is geared to the unique needs of each puppy/owner team.
This class is structured for puppies aged 10 – 23 weeks.
Puppies get to experience various surfaces and many different objects that they may encounter in life while in the class. We work on…
- Examination by stranger
- Walk on a loose lead
- Puppy Down
- Puppy Sit
- Puppy Come
- Puppy Retrieve.
We will be covering basic fundamentals of the AKC puppy STAR program. We will also be a15ddressing young puppy related topics.
It will be a fun time for building the close bond with your young puppy.
The class will be 7 weeks with a STAR puppy Evaluation on the 7th week.
The cost for this class is $150
