OBEDIENCE BASICS - 
CANINE GOOD CITIZEN

Our 6 week basic obedience course solves most common behavior problems. The course is designed to meet the AKC Canine Good Citizen (CGC) standard, ensuring you get the results you need.

 

Many therapy dog programs, insurance companies and apartments use the CGC standard as a way to judge your dog's eligibility. 
 

Upon successful completion of training your dog will be prepared to take the Canine Good Citizen Test, if you choose. This is a measurable benchmark of success and demonstrates the value of your investment.
