Canine
Good Citizen, is your dog one?
|
|
|
The Canine
Good Citizen program was established by the AKC
to encourage pet owners to train their dogs. It is open
to all dogs, both mixed and purebred. The test consists
of a series of stations
where the dog team demonstrates the ability to perform
specific behaviors. By passing each of these stations,
the dog show they are indeed a "good citizen"
by allowing petting from strangers, a vet examination
and grooming. |

In addition, he shows he can be civilized
when interacting with people both individually and in
crowded environments, even if other dogs are present.
The bond between owner and dog is enhanced by working
through all the different situations required for successful
completion of the Canine Good Citizen (CGC) test.

We offer a 5 week class to help you
and your dog prepare for the CGC test with the test
being given at the end on Week 5. During class, we
work on all the stations with particular emphasis
given to those that involve interaction with other
dogs and people, including the supervised isolation.
|
|
Classes meet once a week for 5 weeks and are approximately
1 hour long, with the CGC test being given on the 5th
week.
|
|
The cost for the 5 week course is $95
which includes the price of the test.
