After completing the six classes, you and your puppy will be eligible to have your AKC Approved instructor conduct the S.T.A.R. puppy assessment. Upon passing the test, you’ll get an application to AKC for enrollment so your puppy can receive an AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy certificate, beautiful gold medal, and be listed in the AKC S.T.A.R Puppy records.
Our goal at Paws Plus You is to give you and your puppy the tools to respond to situations in a positive way to maintain a happy successful life for the entire family.
