Canine Good Citizen Prep

Dog ActivitiesIntermediate & Advanced TrainingTherapy or Service Work

For dogs heading towards therapy work, we recommend the structure of the Canine Good Citizen (CGC) program put out by the American Kennel Club.  Receiving a certification for passing the CGC test is helpful for proving your dog has the skills and training to enter schools, nursing homes, hospitals and other public areas. A CGC certificate might only be a stepping stone and further training could be required. We recommend talking with the institution you’d like your dog to visit in order to see what they desire.

Here is a link to the Canine Good Citizen page for a list of behaviors your dog needs to perform:

We offer additional lessons at a discount after you’ve finished your initial package.
