$100.00

AKC Canine Good Citizen™ (CGC) class overview:

The AKC Canine Good Citizen™ (CGC) class is designed for dogs and owners who want a dog that behaves well with their handler in a variety of settings. Dogs work on skills such as walking on a loose lead, sitting or lying down and staying in position for several minutes, and coming when called in a controlled situation. Dogs should also be comfortable and steady when a loud noise occurs.

These skills are also important for therapy dog candidates. Therapy dogs need to be comfortable around medical equipment such as walkers and wheelchairs, and around patients who may move differently or make unusual noises. The CGC foundation skills practiced in this class can also support work with a therapy dog organization.
