Overview
The Canine Good Citizen (CGC) class builds on the skills you learned in the Canine Good Basics (CGB) class. Through more specific exercises you and your dog will establish a closer bond. The exercises will help you train your dog to act with good manners in the home, in public, and in the presence of other dogs.
Schedule
Canine Good Citizen classes are held on Monday at 7.00 p.m.
This class is suitable for all dogs over the age of 12 months of age.

More Information
Canine Good Citizen Assessment: The Purina Pro Plan Canine Good Citizen™ Test is a certification program that tests dogs in simulated everyday situations in a relaxed atmosphere. It identifies and rewards dogs that have the training and demeanour to be reliable family members as well as good-standing community members. It is open to all purebred and crossbred dogs. The test of your dog's manners and training is not a competition and does NOT require that you and your dog perform with precision.
As part of canine good citizen there will be questions based on the Responsibility and care sections of the CGC manual.
