Basic Obedience / Canine good citizen (CGC)

---

The Canine Good Citizen (CGC) program is a 10-skill test designed to teach dogs good manners while helping owners become more responsible and effective dog handlers.

CGC is open to all dogs — purebred, mixed-breed, and All-American dogs are welcome! There are no age minimums or maximums for participating in the CGC program because, as they say, you can always teach an old dog new tricks!

That said, we recognize that training a puppy can be very different from training an adult dog. For our youngest students, we also offer S.T.A.R. Puppy, a program designed to teach the basic skills and good habits that will help get your puppy off to a great start. S.T.A.R. Puppy is an excellent choice for a puppy's first in-person training class.

Please click on “S.T.A.R. Puppy” at the bottom of the page for more information or to register.

This 6-week CGC session is $150 per dog.
