So I've started to look into the AKC Canine Good Citizen certification for my pup Atticus (4 month old standard poodle). He's not ready for the test yet, I've just been researching what we should be working on. While doing that, I came across the AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy Program. But I'm a little confused on the requirements for it. Here's what it says on the website:
- "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 send to AKC® for enrollment in the AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy Program. All dogs are welcome to participate in the AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy Program including purebreds and mixed breeds."
