I’m now a Canine Good Citizen test evaluator! If you’re unfamiliar with CGC, it’s “a ten-skill training program that’s open to all dogs – purebred and mixed breed – that focuses on teaching the basics of good manners and obedience, instilling the values of responsible ownership, and strengthening the bond between you and your dog at home and out in the community.” (Source: AKC website.)
Aside from having a stronger dog/dog owner relationship, the CGC title may reduce homeowners’ and renters’ insurance premiums. It’s often a prerequisite to becoming a therapy animal. It’s also a good screening tool if you’re interested in getting your dog into agility or sport competition.
Feel free to call/text me at 816-686-4766 or email me at debtangen62@gmail.com and I can give you more information on how your dog can become a CGC.
