AKC Canine Good Citizen and S.T.A.R. Puppy Programs

CGCEvaluatorLogo.jpg
In order to promote responsible pet ownership in Florida, both PJ Lacette and Shirley Conley are AKC Approved Canine Good Citizen (CGC) Evaluators.  This enables puppies attending our PuppyLove classes to enroll in the AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy Program and provides our Basic Manners and Manners Plus students with experienced guidance in their preparations for the CGC Program.  We encourage all our students to use these programs as foundation steps to enhance the health, safety, and quality of life for their canine companion.

The AKC's Canine Good Citizen Program is designed to recognize dogs who have good manners at home and in the community. This rapidly growing nationally recognized program stresses responsible dog ownership for owners and basic training and good manners for dogs.  All dogs who pass the 10 step CGC test may receive a certificate from the American Kennel Club.

The AKC S.T.A.R.sm Puppy Program rewards responsible owners who take the time to train and socialize their new puppies. The program is the puppy level of the AKC’s well-known Canine Good Citizen® program.  “S.T.A.R.” stands for Socialization, Training, Activity and a Responsible owner, all of the things a puppy needs to have a good life.
