Obedience Training

We will assist you with obedience only training through classes or private lessons. Cost is very reasonable. Private lessons are slightly higher than group lessons. Group lessons are always preferred for puppies as this gives the puppies plenty of time for socialization. We will begin training as young as 12-weeks of age. ALL training is positive reinforcement ONLY. We will have supplies for you at the first class. Sessions run for 12-weeks per group. SPACE IS LIMITED. Call early. If we are unavailable, be certain to leave your name, mailing address, and phone number so we can get back with you ASAP.

The AKC Canine Good Citizen (CGC) program began in 1989. Now all CGC evaluators must be approved through the AKC. This is acomplished by taking the CGC exam. The Canine Good Citizen Progam consists of two parts--both essential to the program, owners, dogs and the general public. The first part of the program stresses responsible pet ownership while the second part stresses basic manners for dogs.

Dogs, who pass the 10-step Canine Good Citizen test, whether a mixed breed or purebred, will receive a certificate from the AKC. The CGC is a good first step in a dog's training and lays the foundation for other AKC activities such as obedience, agility, tracking, and performance events.

We are in the process of developing a similar testing program for our cats & miniature equine to pass before going on into advanced training. These tests will be a part of our school's public certification testing program.

Cynthia is an evaluator and if you would like more information on her testing dates, contact her by phone 318-649-7880, email: starlightanimals@bellsouth.net.
