Canine Good Citizen Prep Class – CGC is a ten-skill training program that’s open to all dogs-purebred and mixed breed-that focuses on teaching the basics of good manners and obedience, instilling the values of responsible ownership, and strengthening the bond between you and your dog at home and out in the community. 

The prerequisite for this class is our Foundations Obedience Group Class. It builds upon the fundamentals of the training and allows the owner and dog to practice similar exercises in a group setting in anticipation of completing the requirements of the AKC Canine Good Citizen test. Even if you choose not to take the CGC test. This class will give you continued insight into teaching your dog the good manners to be in public situations.

Passing the CGC test is a great way to demonstrate that a dog is well-behaved and a credit to its breed and owner, also it is an important step for therapy and service dogs as it shows that the dog is well-trained and able to behave appropriately in different environments.
