Canine Good Citizen is a title your dog can earn. It can help lay the foundation for your dog becoming a well-respected and welcome member of the community.
For more information about the AKC's Canine Good Citizen, click here.
Each session is $30. Completing the course doesn't guarantee your dog will pass the test, but you will have the opportunity to retest if you desire. You can take the CGC Test without any practice sessions. Test fee is $30.
Upon completion, you'll be provided the paperwork necessary to file for the official AKC certificate and title.
If you sign up for practice sessions, remember to bring treats your dog loves! It will help with training.
