Canine Good Citizen Prep & Test Class

 

The American Kennel Club’s CGC Program is a wonderful way to showcase your dog’s good manners so he can be distinguished as a “Canine Good Citizen.” Prepare for the 10-step CGC test that covers basic skills such as loose-leash walking, sitting politely for petting, coming when called, and more.

The CGC distinction is also a great departure point for other canine activities, such as obedience, agility, therapy work, and more! The Canine Good Citizen Program is open to all dogs, both purepred and mixed- breed. For more information on the Canine Good Citizen Program, please visit http://www.akc.org/events/cgc/index.cfm.

Enrollment in this class includes the CGC test during the forth week of class. You will receieve your paperwork to mail in for your certificate. Cost of the certificate is not included.

Class Requirements:

  • Dog and handler must have completed classes that have given them enough instruction that has covered the tasks needed to pass the certification test,  The instructor has the right to excuse any dog that comes into class with insufficient skills to participate (no refunds).
  • Dogs should have a solid sit, down, recall (come), wait/stay, and be able to walk politely on lead around distractions before enrolling in this class. This class is a review and refining of basic skills, NOT an introduction to basic manners.
  • Harnesses, haltis, correction collars, and treats are not allowed during CGC testing. If your dog is still dependent on these kinds of aids to perform the behaviors listed above, he is NOT ready for the CGC class.
  • Your dog needs to social with humans and other dogs. Any signs of reactivity or aggression and you willbe excused (no refunds).
