AKC Puppy S.T.A.R Program
Our Puppy Kindergarten classes participate in the American Kennel Club S.T.A.R. Puppy training program. S.T.A.R stands for Socialization, Training, Activity, and Resposibility. This program was developed by the American Kennel Club to encourage owners to train their dogs at an early age.
This program consists of 20 steps, which upon successful completion, allows you to enroll your puppy in the AKC S.T.A.R Puppy Program. Upon enrollment you and your puppy will receive a medal, frameable certificate, a handbook, and a monthly email newsletter from the AKC.
Cold Weather Canine Care Tips
© 2006 The American Kennel Club, Inc.
A dog’s need for food, shelter and loving care increases during the cold winter months. Keep your dog safe and warm by following these guidelines.
- Dogs can get frostbite or hypothermia when temperatures drop. Don’t leave your dog outside in the cold for long periods of time. Provide a covered shelter, such as a doghouse or kennel, for the times the dog is out of doors.
- When your dog is inside, keep him warm, dry and away from drafts. Tiles and uncarpeted floors may become very cold, so put down blankets or pads for him to lie on.
- Keep your dog a safe distance from supplemental heat sources such as portable heaters and fireplaces, which can cause severe burns. Place screens around fireplaces.

AKC Helpful Tips – Steer Clear of Summer Hazards
For most of us, the warm weather means more time spent outdoors with our four-legged friends. While being outside with your dog is a great way to spend time together, there are certain dangers the summer season brings for Fido. To keep your dog safe, American Kennel Club (AKC®) Canine Partners offers the following tips to help prevent summer hazards.
- Keep cool. When the heat and humidity are making you uncomfortable, chances are that your dog is suffering too and is becoming overheated. You can prevent overheating by making sure that your dog always has access to cool shade and water. If you see that Fido is slowing down in the heat, you can spray him with a hose to cool him off.
- Dogs get sunburn too. Dogs that have hairless areas or have white fur on their noses or ears can get sunburn. Repeated sunburn on dogs can predispose them to skin cancer, just like humans. Make sure to put sun block on Fido if he’s going to be outside on a sunny day.
- Paws on pavement. Sidewalks and streets can get very hot, and since your dog doesn’t wear shoes his paws can end up getting burned from the scorching pavement. Keep your dog on the grass in extreme heat to keep his paws intact. Also remember that sand can burn too, so try taking your long beach walks with Fido early in the morning or late afternoon when it’s cooler.
- Stay away from the barbecue. Keep your dog away from the grill while you are using it, as the open flame is very dangerous. Your dog should be kept away even after you have finished with the grill because it stays hot for a while. Also remember that barbecued food can be greasy and upset his stomach, so as tempted as you may be, don’t give him barbecue scraps.
