Prepare for and pass the AKC CGC evaluation
Canine Good Citizen Class
The AKC's Canine Good Citizen test is the benchmark for a well-mannered dog in public. Our class prepares you and your dog for every element of the evaluation.
You'll work through accepting a friendly stranger, sitting politely for petting, appearance and grooming, loose-leash walking, walking through a crowd, sit and down on cue, coming when called, reaction to another dog, reaction to distraction and supervised separation.
