Canine Good Citizen

American Kennel Club Canine Good Citizen Certification

An American Kennel Club endorsed title that promotes responsible dog ownership and good doggy manners.

The AKC CGC program provides an excellent foundation for training in other fun activities such as rally, obedience, and agility. Therapy-dog groups often have passing the CGC test as a prerequisite for entrance into site-specific programs, some insurance companies recommend CGC training, and an increasing number of apartments and condos are asking for CGC training for resident dogs.

Open to all dogs, regardless of breed! This is a 3-week prep class with testing for the certificate on the 4th week.

Our goal is to promote responsible and healthy dog ownership
