AKC Star Puppy Class
Our Star Puppy Class is designed for owners interested in achieving a Star Puppy title. Classes are divided by age puppies into groups of 16 weeks to 6 months of age and 6 months to 12 months. Six month old puppies may join either group.
Please ensure that your puppy is comfortable in a group setting with other dogs and people. If your puppy exhibits fearful or reactive behavior, we ask that these concerns be addressed through private lessons prior to joining group training. If you achieve all requirements you will receive the certificate to submit for your dog's AKC Star Puppy Title
Real World Adventures
Time to take your pup beyond the backyard - I’m guiding Bangor dogs from porch practice to peaceful river walks and trail adventures. Together we’ll build real-world manners using positive reinforcement and marker training, so outings feel calm and joyful. Ready to explore? Bring your pup and let’s practice cues around new sights, sounds, and friendly strangers.
Puppy Fun
Learning should feel like play! In our Puppy Fun sessions I use release-the-treat games to teach problem-solving, simple scent challenges to engage curious noses, and playful drills to build physical confidence - all with marker training and kindness. Want to bring out your pup’s best? This is the right class for you.
