Can your dog be a Canine Good Citizen?

AKC offers the title of CGC (Canine Good Citizen) to all dogs, purebred, mix, and crosses. If your dog is registered with AKC, the CGC can be added as a title abbreviation to their name. If your dog is not registered, you can still achieve the certificate of Canine Good Citizen from the AKC. The test entails….

• Greets a friendly stranger.

• Sits politely for petting.

• Welcomes being groomed, brushed; allows paws and ears to be handled.

• Walks as directed on a loose leash.

• Moves politely through a crowd.

• Sits, lies down and stays in place on command.

• Comes when called.

• Behaves politely around other dogs.

• Reacts with confidence to distractions.

• Can be left with a trusted person.

The CGC test is a requirement for owners and dogs interested in the animal therapy program.
