Fine tune your dog’s basic obedience training during this 5 week long class. You will teach your dog to remain calm to meet people who LOVE to meet dogs. Your dog’s leash walking will be perfected so you can pass excited dogs and navigate busy sidewalks. Your dog will learn to lie down and relax almost anywhere and sit-stay while you are out of sight.

These are the skills that make up the 10-part American Kennel Club Canine Good Citizen evaluation. The CGC is the gold standard for basic obedience and is also a prerequisite for many therapy dog certifications. It is a great introduction to more advanced dog sports and activities. Some homeowners’ insurance programs even offer discounts for CGC dogs, and an increasing number of apartments and condos see CGC awards as a major bonus for becoming a resident.

The most successful participants will have attended Puppy Kindergarten and Basic Obedience or had equivalent training.  

This course is 5 weeks long and tuition is $175. The Canine Good Citizen evaluation will be available on Tuesday, Oct 29th for the additional cost of $25.
