SHOUT OUT - Way to go Max and Mark!

Socialization, Training, Activities, Responsibility
Congratulations to Max and Mark for successfully completing the S.T.A.R. puppy program at  All Dogs Gym in Manchester, NH.  This innovative, exciting new program for puppies from 8 weeks to 5 months of age was started by the AKC to reward owners and their puppies S.T.A.R. stands for “Socialization, Training, Activities and Responsibility.”  Goals of this program are that pup will be well-socialized to new places, puppies, people and things, will come when called, walk on a loose leash, sit, lie down, stay and relax, greet people politely, retrieve and willingly give you objects from their mouths.  Mark, we THANK YOU so much for following through with Max's puppy training.  Although he's not yet 4 months old you've certainly laid a very important foundation for him that will serve you well in your future bird hunting adventures.  As breeders, John and I appreciate hearing about accomplishments such as this.  We can provide the very best experiences and early puppy training during the first 8 weeks but it is up to new owners like yourself to build upon that, something you very obviously have done.  You have seized the opportunity to use a key time of learning and development for a young puppy to his best advantage. THANK YOU and congratulations from All Things Brittany - especially from Molly and Jack!

  1. That is great. We try to get all of our puppy clients into a program like this. Makes everything so much easier later.
