CGC - Canine Good Citizen


GENERAL INFO
 
After you finish you Basic or Star Puppy class your dog will be ready to move to the next level of obedience training. Our CGC Class is based on the American Kennel Club’s Canine Good Citizen Program.

You will learn all about making your dog a well behaved dog in everyday situations. This class will focus on the 10 test items that make up the CGC test. Each of the test items represent everyday encounters that you might encounter while out walking your dog or at a vet’s office.

Your dog will learn to have better leash walking skills, more reliable stays, as well as learn to interact with people and other dogs in a way that is easily managed.

To learn more about the AKC and the CGC program as well as the 10 test items, we encourage you to visit their website here: http://www.akc.org/dog-owners/training/canine-good-citizen/about/
