AADTC offers various classes designed for the young puppy and handler. A Friday evening class is offered if you miss the regular schedule of classes. Each term we offer a Puppy Kindergarten (KPT) class and a 5-12 month puppy class for the older puppy. Each class is designed to teach basic manners and control in a variety of situations with distractions. Introduction to the basic obedience commands (come, down, sit, stay) and information on various canine care and behavior topics are also covered. Each session one of the classes will also cover the new AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy Program. At the end, the instructor will administer the S.T.A.R. test. After passing, the owner can apply to AKC for the AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy Medal. This is open to all purebreds and mixed breeds.
