"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-

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.
How It Works:
When you complete a basic training class (taught
by an AKC Approved CGC Evaluator) with your
puppy (up to 1 year old) your puppy is 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

Puppy Program. All dogs are welcome to
participate in the AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy Program
including purebreds and mixed breeds.
Your puppy will receive the AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy
Medal (for display or memento purposes; not
suitable as a collar tag). You and your puppy will
be listed in the AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy records. In
addition, so that you can continue learning, you’ll
receive our AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy package that
