Enriching the human-canine bond through knowledge, trust and obedience

Canine Good Citizen


The Canine Good Citizen class, other wise known as CGC is a 6 week class that's works on manners while prepping you and your canine for a test to earn your AKC, CGC certificate!
To attend this class, you must be a HIGH SCHOOL Graduate or set up a private consult with Stephanie to confirm 'readiness'.
This class is for students that want to take their dog further. Should you decide to take a tricks class for earning titles on your dog? If you already have your CGC, you would only be required to do 5 tricks (verses 10) to earn your first tricks title!
CGC certificates are 'proof' that you have a trained dog and you've put efforts into making them a canine good citizen!
