Do you and your dog want to earn the distinctive award of Canine Good Citizen? Are you interested in therapy work? Do you just want a dog that is good mannered wherever they go? Then this eight-week class is for you! This class is designed to teach you and your dog good manners, inside and outside the home. Each week we will work with your pet to meet the requirements of the AKC 10 step guide to earn their Canine Good Citizen Award. This is also one of the first steps to take should you wish to do any therapy work with your pet. We will cover calmness, no-licking, meeting children, etc which are some of the things you will need for your therapy training.  This class is open to all dogs (including mixed breeds) at least one year old.

It is recommended that dogs have previous exposure to classroom obedience training and understand sit, down, stay, come when called and loose leash walking prior to class. Students may participate in the AKC CGC Evaluation test given on the last week of class. Testing fee is included.
