CGC

Canine Good Citizen Program

The Canine Good Citizen program was created by the American Kennel Club to help dogs and their owners learn more basic skills to help them navigate an increasingly demanding world. The program is open to any dog over 6 months of age, purebred and mixed breeds. Dogs learn and perform a series of skills to earn titles at that level.

At Comp K9 we strongly believe that every dog should have a CGC title which is why all our beginning  obedience classes include a CGC test at no additional charge. Puppy Classes include a Star Puppy test at no additional charge.

Having a CGC title on your dog can help you find housing, or decrease your homeowners or renters insurance plus your dog is just easier to live with. The program is a great way to get involved while increasing your dog’s confidence and enhancing your relationship with your furry friend.
