Canine Good Citizen Certificate & Title
The CGC program is nationally recognized through the American Kennel Club. Their mission is to inspire dog owners to take responsibility and provide their dog with the knowledge to obtain proper etiquette around other humans and dogs. When preparing for Canine Good Citizen testing, dog owners simultaneously build the foundation for further training and any advanced CGC testing — as well as preparation to tackle AKC Trick Titles.

Advanced Canine Good Citizen Testing (CGCA & CGCU)
Both the CGCU & CGCA tests are a great way to showcase how well your dog behaves in a community and/or urban setting. It shows that he/she has been trained to be well mannered in the home, in public and in the presence of other dogs. The tests are conducted in a real world setting such as a park or city environment; this helps the dog build confidence as well as become a well respected member of their community.
