Class Goal - Prepare for the Canine Good Citizen Test.
The Canine Good Citizen Class is a prep class for the AKC Canine Good Citizen test. Started in 1989, the CGC Program is designed to reward dogs who have good manners at home and in the community. The Canine Good Citizen Program is a two-part program that stresses responsible pet ownership for owners and basic good manners for dogs. All dogs who pass the 10-step CGC test may receive a certificate from the American Kennel Club. In this class we will focus on advanced work with stays, adding duration, distractions, and distance to build fluency with established behaviors, fading reinforcement for some exercises and the last night of class will be the Canine Good Citizen test where each dog will individually be tested by an AKC approved evaluator on the skills needed to receive the Canine Good Citizen Certification from the AKC.
