🎓🐾 Pickles graduated!
After six weeks of puppy school, Pickles earned his AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy certification by successfully completing 20 important skills—and he was the youngest pup in his class at just 5½ months old!
Thank you to our students, families, and staff for welcoming Pickles with so much patience, kindness, and love. As he moves through a normal puppy fear phase, you may occasionally hear him bark when he feels unsure. A friendly wave and calmly giving him space will help him continue building confidence.
Under the careful guidance of Mrs. DeForrest, a certified animal-assisted therapist, Pickles will receive all the support and breaks he needs. He cannot wait to spend more time learning, playing, and spreading smiles throughout our classrooms and hallways!
Congratulations, Pickles! 💚🥒🐶
