AKC Canine Good Citizen Class
Help make your dog socially acceptable!
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 for owners and basic training and good manners for dogs. All dogs who pass the 10 step CGC test may receive a certificate from the American Kennel Club. Your dog does not need to be pure bred to participate.
Some skills we’ll learn in class
• Accepting a friendly stranger: allow a friendly stranger to approach it and speak to the handler
in a natural, everyday situation.
• Supervised Separation: a dog can be left with a trusted person, if necessary,
and will maintain training and good manners.
• Reaction to Another Dog: Teach your dog to behave politely around other dogs.
• Sit, Down, Stay: Of course you need the doggy basics!
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 that is a joy to live with. Some therapy dog groups
require passing the CGC Test as a prerequisite, some insurance companies recommend CGC training, and
an increasing number of apartments and condos are requiring CGC training for resident dogs.
Restrictions: Dogs should have some basic obedience knowledge or be familiar with basic commands and must be 6 months or older. Proof of vaccinations due at first class. No children under 12.
Fee: $100.00 for 8 weeks. Cost includes test fee.
