About CGC:

The Canine Good Citizen program is an AKC initiative promoting responsible dog ownership and basic good manners for dogs. The CGC test consists of 10 real-world skills (like polite greetings, controlled walking, and reliable obedience) that every dog should have to be welcomed in the community.

Training for CGC deepens your bond with your dog and helps them become a polite member of society.

The CGC certificate is widely recognized as a “badge of honor” for well-trained dogs – it’s often a prerequisite for therapy dog programs and a foundation for more advanced dog sports.

Many insurance companies even recommend CGC certification (and some landlords require it) to demonstrate a dog’s good behavior.In short, CGC training will not only teach your dog the basics like sit, down, and stay, but also build the confidence and manners needed for outings in public.

By the end of this course, you and your dog will be a more connected team, ready to ace the 10-step CGC test and enjoy the benefits of a Canine Good Citizen title!

CGC Test Items are found here: https://www.akc.org/.../canine-good-citizen-test-items/
