Canine Good Citizen (CGC)

The AKC’s Canine Good Citizen program provides the basis for living with our dogs - from reliable obedience skills, recalls, politely greeting new people, and training your dog to be comfortable in all environments.  


These classes are a prerequisite for our Therapy Dog Prep.


We offer training and evaluations for:


  • Virtual Home Manners (VHMA/VHMP)
  • Canine Good Citizen (CGC)
  • Community Canine (CGCA)
  • Urban Canine (CGCU) 
  • Training for the Temperament Test (ATT)


CGC - Part One

 Part One focuses on the essential life skills included in the Virtual Home Manners and the Canine Good Citizen programs. 


Classes start on Tuesday, April 11th, from 9:30-10:30 am for eight weeks. 

Our last class includes the CGC evaluation.
