This 4-week prep class will prepare you and your dog for the Canine Good Citizen (CGC) test. The 10-step CGC test is a non-competitive test for all dogs. It is a prerequisite for many therapy dog groups and some homeowner’s insurance companies encourage CGC testing. There are also an increasing number of apartments and condos that require resident dogs to pass the CGC test.

Testing includes: Accepting a friendly stranger, sitting politely for petting, appearance and grooming, loose leash walking, walking through a crowd, sit and down on command and staying in place, coming when called, reaction to another dog, reaction to distractions, supervised separation. Testing is not mandatory as this can be a great class for those looking for additional training opportunities. 4 Classes Cost: $80.00+tax  Optional test cost additional $20+tax
