AKC Canine Good Citizen Certification

The CGC Program teaches good manners to dogs and responsible dog ownership to their owners. The 10-step Canine Good Citizen test is a non-competitive test for all dogs, including purebreds and mixed breeds. The CGC award is a prerequisite for many therapy dog groups. Some homeowner’s insurance companies are encouraging CGC testing, and an increasing number of apartments and condos require that resident dogs pass the CGC test. The CGC Program also includes the AKC CGC℠ Responsible Dog Owner Pledge.

​Guardian-K9 offers a 6 week CGC course program that addresses all of the guidelines of the CGC test.  At the end of the course, if you and your canine partner have met the CGC criteria you will be issued a CGC title.
