Canine Good Citizen

Canine Good Citizen (CGC) is open to all dogs, mixed breeds and purebreds, 6 months and older. This class builds on the skills learned in Family Dog and S.T.A.R. Puppy. By training in CGC, you and your dog will deepen your bond and become a more connected team. You will not only learn foundational skills for the evaluation but will master skills so you and your dog will be welcomed, well-mannered, community members.
