Community Canine |
As the result of many Evaluators requesting an advanced AKC Canine Good Citizen title, the AKC has announced the creation of the AKC Community Canine title (CGCA) in October of 2013. The AKC believes that the CGCA expands the CGC skills and lays the foundation for obedience, rally and therapy dog work.
While CGC test are simulations of real world skills, the goal of the CGCA program is to test the dog's ability in a natural setting. For example, rather than the test being administered in a show ring, certain elements will involve a dog walking through a real crowd. Whether at a dog show, training facility or on a busy sidewalk in the community. As with the CGC, the AKC Community Canine requires a ten step test that the dog must pass to earn the official AKC Community Canine title which is designed to recognize dogs that have good manners in the home and in the community.
The American Kennel Clubs S.T.A.R. Puppy, Canine Good Citizen and Community Canine Programs provide an excellent foundation for training in other fun activities such as rally, obedience and ability and results in a well mannered dog.
All dogs that pass the 10 step CGCA test will receive a certificate from the American Kennel Club. If your purebred or mix-breed dog has an AKC, PAL or Canine Companion registration number, the CGCA Title will be added to your dog's registered name.
