The Canine Good Citizen Course  -  8 Week Course:  $150

          The AKC's Canine Good Citizen Program is designed to recognize dogs that have good manners at home and in the community.  This rapidly growing nationally recognized program stresses responsible dog ownership and basic training and good manners for dogs.  The AKC CGC Program provides an excellent foundation for training in other fun activities such as Rally, Obedience and Agility and results in a well mannered dog.

All dogs that pass the 10 step CGC test will receive a certificate from the American Kennel Club.  If your purebred or mix-breed dog has an AKC, PAL or Canine Companion, the CGC Title will be added to his or her registered name.

Why Is The CGC Certificate Important To You?

1.  Some therapy dog groups require passing the CGC test as a pre-requisite.
2.  Some insurance companies recommend CGC training.
3.  An increasing number of apartments/condos are requiring CGC training for resident dogs.
4.  Police Departments and Courts recognize the CDG Certificate as evidence of responsible ownership.

Our trainer  is a Certified Canine Good Citizen Evaluator.   Our Canine Good Citizen classroom course will teach the skills required to pass the Canine Good Citizen Test.  Graduation exercises for this class will be conducted in the form of a Canine Good Citizens test.  If the dog and the handler passes the test, the Trainer will award them a qualifying score and the AKC paperwork which will allow them to apply for the CGC Certificate from the American Kennel Club.
