in-studio course for ages 12 months +

cost $225 | 4 weeks

The AKC’s Canine Good Citizen certification is all about responsible dog parenting and showing off your basic skills. It's the perfect class to take after completing the Wonder Puppy Series, and also the next step in preparing for therapy and assistance dog work. The first three weeks are skill practice, and the last class is the CGC test. In the test, your dog will demonstrate the following skills without clickers or treats: sit and down / stay in place, coming when called, accepting a friendly stranger, sitting politely for petting, reaction to distractions, out for a walk, walking through a crowd, reaction to another dog, appearance and grooming, and supervised separation.
