This class has a minimum prerequisite of completion of a general obedience class.

Skills Learned

• Accepting a friendly stranger
• Sitting politely for petting
• Walking on a loose leash
• Sit, Down, Stay
• Supervised separation
• For all 10 skills check out the AKC website

The Canine Good Citizen test is a 10-skill test that teaches good manners to dogs and responsible dog ownership to their owners.  The Canine Good Citizen test is not a competition and does not require that you and your dog perform with precision!

This class will practice all 10 skills and is open to all dogs that have completed an  obedience class, as well as dogs that already have the CGC title and dogs that do not plan to take the CGC test but who want to practice.  

The CGC test will be administered during the final class.

For more information about the Canine Good Citizen Program, please check out the American Kennel Club's website.
