AKC Canine Good Citizen

Teach your dog the skills needed to pass the AKC Canine Good Citizen evaluation.

Description

CGC is a ten-skill training program that’s open to all dogs–purebred and mixed breed–that focuses on teaching the basics of good manners and obedience, instilling responsible ownership values, and strengthening the bond between you and your dog at home and out in the community. 

After mastering the ten skills, passing the CGC test together, and taking the Responsible Dog Ownership pledge, you and your pup will join the proud ranks of over 1 million dogs who have earned their Canine Good Citizen award– an accomplishment that’s definitely worthy of extra belly rubs!
