The AKC Canine Good Citizen (CGC) program is a surefire way to show that you are a responsible dog owner. It is also a great foundation prior to any advanced training or certification for therapy dog work.
During the CGC test, your dog will undertake ten different exercises to assess if it is well-mannered and obedient. These includes accepting a friendly stranger, performing basic commands such as sit, stay and down, and behaving well in a crowded setting.
Training your pup to be evaluated through the CGC program can be fun for you and your dog, will build a stronger connection, and eventually should result in a pup with increased obedience and social skills.
Highland Canine Connect is offering Canine Good Citizen evaluations to dog owners in our local community on Saturday, September 28, beginning at 10am. For more information on this event, read the press release or register your interest on the Facebook event.
