Canine Good Citizen Out on the Town
(An Advanced Level Class for dogs who have aleady passed the Canine Good Citizen test)
Taking Good Manners Out in Public!
Class Goals:
The Canine Good Citizen (CGC) Out on the Town class provides real world exposure to the classroom lessons learned during the CGC class. This 6-week class includes advanced training in at a different location each week to practice the CGC behaviors where it matters the most, around the general public. We will meet at parks, walking trails and shopping centers to expose your dogs yet keeping their focus on you while truly walking through a crowd, recalls at the park, sit/stays at the shopping center and the toughest one of all, sitting politely for petting.
At the conclusion of the course, you will have the opportunity to take the evaluation for the new AKC Community Canine title and the CGC Urban title. Where CGC tests are most often tested in a ring and situations are simulated, the AKC Community Canine test is done in real situations including at shows, classes, and in the community. Dogs who pass the AKC Community Canine test earn the official AKC Community Canine title that is designated by the letters “CGCA” (Advanced CGC) on the dog’s title record. Dogs who pass the AKC CGC Urban test will earn the CGCU title.
