AKC Canine Good Citizen Training & Certification
Our CIC CGC training program is developed to help you and your dog learn the necessary skills for the AKC CGC certification.
This 3 week course has been designed for our CIC Therapy Teams! This class helps you and your dog practice the necessary skills for the AKC CGC certification.
This round of CGC class is for Therapy Dogs only. Your dog will already need the basic level skills of sit, down, wait/stay, recall, and leash manners. They do not need to be PERFECT at these skills, though. ;) We’ll guide you through the details in class.
Your dog can pass the CGC test and earn a completion certificate only, or you may choose to earn an official AKC title (includes completion certificate). With official AKC titles, the title is listed on the dog’s Title Record, and “CGC” may be listed after the dog’s name (e.g., “Princess, CGC”). To earn CGC as an official title, dogs must have one of the 3 types of registration: 1) AKC number, 2) Purebred Alternative Listing number (PAL), or 3) AKC Canine Partners number (For mixed-breed dogs). More information here.
In order to complete Canine Good Citizen Training, participants can miss no more than 1 session to create consistency in training.
