CANINE GOOD CITIZEN
Does your dog have basic manners and you are ready to take it to the next level? Working towards the Canine Good Citizen (CGC) title is a great starting point for more advanced training opportunities such as therapy dog, dog sports, or advanced life skills.
In the CGC test, your dog must pass ten mini-tests including:
- Calmly greeting a stranger
- Loose leash walking with distractions
- Staying in place
- Coming when called
- Being left with a new person
This class is designed to prepare students for the official AKC CGC Test, which is held at our facility on a quarterly basis. When you are ready to take the test, contact us to arrange an assessment.
Can’t attend the six weeks consecutively? You have ten weeks to attend your sessions.
If you know you are going to miss a week you can arrange another date to attend with your instructor after signing up.
We’re sorry, but our group classes do not cover behavior challenges such as severe on-leash reactivity (barking, growling, and/or lunging at others while on leash), excessive barking, separation anxiety, confinement distress, extreme fearfulness of people or dogs, or aggression. If you are experiencing any of these behaviors, please check out our private training options.
