This class will introduce you to a simple non-competitive test to measure an individual dog's knowledge of basic manners. CGC is open to all dogs regardless of breed or age. The test consists of 10 items.

CGC is required for the Read to a Dog program and most Therapy Dog programs.

Want a closer connection with your pooch? You may wish to focus on fewer items that are important to you right now. Practicing each item will help you develop a stronger relationship with your dog and is a perfect spring/summer project. The end result is a better mannered dog and a happier owner. This intro class will give you lots of information on the process and you can decide on next steps.

If you take and pass the test, owners can receive a CGC certificate from AKC and the suffix CGC may be listed after the dog's name. Wouldn't that be cool for your dog?
