AKC CGC PREP AND TEST

Whether you and your dog are preparing to take the American Kennel Club’s Canine Good Citizen (CGC) test or you just want to sharpen and advance your dog’s current obedience skills, this class is for you! This is a 6-week advanced obedience course. Your dog must have completed our Basic Obedience, or Intermediate Obedience class, and have a reliable recall, sit, down, stay, and loose leash walking manners to participate. We will will focus on all of the CGC test items and proof your dog’s skills through various exercises.

The Canine Good Citizen Program is a two-part program that stresses responsible pet ownership for owners and basic good manners for dogs.
