Canine Good Citizenship Class

Canine Good Citizen is sponsored by the American Kennel Club (AKC) and is for dogs that have been taught some basic obedience. The dogs should have some knowledge of a sit, down, walking on a leash, and have a command that means come when called. This class will have five weeks spent going over the 10 test items in the CGC test and then on the sixth week the test will be given by a CGC evaluator. Parts of the test deal with your dog walking nicely on a leash, sitting for petting or someone talking to you or the dog, coming when called (no major distraction), reaction to another dog (friendly and not off leash just walking by) and supervised separation.

August 19th (Monday) from 6:30 - 7:30pm
