The Canine Good Citizen test is a 10 step test offered by the AKC that tests good manners in dogs and responsible ownership skills in their owners. Topics covered in this course include loose leash walking with distractions, accepting greetings from strangers, neutral responses to distractions, and advanced obedience skills such as sit, down, stay, and waiting out of sight of handlers. This course is appropriate for dogs that have taken a beginner and intermediate obedience course and that are tolerant of the presence of people and dogs in their space.

This class will take place indoors with appropriate social distancing and class is limited to 6 dogs total. For this course to run, there is a minimum of 4 students required, this course will be postponed if we cannot meet course requirements.
