MARKER TRAINING
This is the very best way to begin with any and every puppy, to capture its attention and affection for you as its human handler!

SO-CALLED
"PUPPY CLASSES"
are way overrated!!!
Most dog trainers or businesses offering this approach to training a puppy is sold under the banner of "YOUR PUPPY NEEDS TO BE SOCIALIZED WITH OTHER PEOPLE AND OTHER DOGS!"
The premise is true, the approach is most always unhelpful at best, and at its worst, this setting will too often be harmful to both your puppy's physical and psychological well-being!
* * *
Picture the average
PUPPY CLASS
setting with me...
There are no less than 6 puppies of every size, different ages (8 weeks to 20 weeks old), there may be as many as 12 puppies, some laid back and others shy, some wild and aggressive, and then there are the dog owners, most all of whom have no working knowledge to start with to even know what is going on in the class, or why they are going through the motions with their pup that makes no sense to them or to their pup!
Then a fight breaks out between two or three puppies -
The dog trainer tells the owners of the fighting puppies to take their dogs on the outside of the training area and to keep them separated from the other puppies.
[SO MUCH FOR THE SOCIALIZATION THING...]
Puppies jumping on all the humans and on one another, puppies barking and whining and peeing and pooping in the training area and on you...
The dog training instructor upset and yelling at you to jerk on your puppy's leash and scold it for misbehaving, the other puppy owners upset with one another and with you, the class-time cut short for some, if not for all of you, due to frustration and failure on all levels!
"CLASS IS OVER,
SEE YOU ALL AGAIN
NEXT WEEK!"
What a deal!!!
We only had to pay $90. for a 6 week, one hour class, and our pup is sort of socailized, maybe it got bit on once, by another aggresive pup, but our pup learned how to "sit" for two seconds, well, at least for one second...]
* * *
THERE IS A BETTER WAY FOR BOTH YOU AND YOUR PUPPY TO LEARN, A BETTER ENVIRONMENT, A BETTER TRAINING AND SOCIALIZATION METHOD, AND A BETTER POSITIVE RESULT FOR THE PRICE YOU ARE ASKED TO PAY TO HAVE YOUR PUPPY UNDERSTAND, ALONG WITH YOU, THE MEANING OF "COME, SIT, DOWN, STAY AND HEEL!"

READ ABOUT The American Kennel Club - and their PUPPY PROGRAM:
Welcome to the AKC S.T.A.R. Puppysm Program!
At the American Kennel Club®, we’re not just champion dogs. We’re the dogs’ champion—all dogs. We believe that all dogs deserve training and a responsible owner and our goal is to reward responsible dog ownership.
The AKC S.T.A.R. Puppysm is an exciting new program designed to get dog owners and their puppies off to a good start. The AKC S.T.A.R. Puppysm Program is an incentive program for loving dog owners who have taken the time to take their puppies through a basic training class.
The Benefits of Training
Training classes teach you how to best communicate with your puppy. Organized training classes also provide an opportunity for your dog to socialize with other dogs. In classes aimed at earning the AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy distinction, you’ll be able to get information on all of your puppy-raising questions including housetraining, chewing, and the most effective way to teach practical skills such as coming when called. AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy training is a natural lead in to the AKC® Canine Good Citizen® Program.
How It Works
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.
Your puppy will receive the AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy Medal (for display or memento purposes; not suitable as a collar tag). You and your puppy will be listed in the AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy records. In addition, so that you can continue learning, you’ll receive our AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy package that includes:
- A beautiful, frameable certificate designating your puppy is in the AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy records at AKC
- AKC Puppy Handbook, a valuable resource
- Discount to enroll in AKC Companion Animal Recovery Corporation, a 24-hour recovery service
- Ongoing Monthly Email Newsletter: Your AKC. This includes training tips and up-to-date information every dog owner needs to know. We want you and your puppy to continue learning beyond puppy classes.
