LUNA IS AN AKC STAR PUPPY GRAD!

LUNA graduated her AKC STAR Puppy class tonight. Good girl!

LUNA STARTS STAR PUPPY

Luna is doing her first night of STAR Puppy class sessions for her training enrichment. As an Evaluator myself, I can't test her so we need to take a 6 week course under another trainer to certify.

There are 6 other pups in this class ranging from itty-bitty Pittie babies to the boxer you can see beside her.

Here she is practicing her Settle behavior around new stimulus waiting her turn - this is a new place, dogs she has never met, kids running around, people wanting to pet her... and I'm asking her to focus on me and relax...

She's such a good girl and did so very well this week with a tremendous distraction challenge.

TRAINING TIMELINE

People have asked what sort of things Luna will be training on and what kind of timeline I expected her to be completing things in.  It always varies on the dog's individual personality and learning style as well as other developmental factors but this is the schedule of progress I am aiming for with her.
