AKC Canine Good Citizenship Test (CGC)

The Level 2 Group package builds off of where Level 1 leaves off and increases the distance, duration, and distractions in the environment during training. You will learn to fine-tune your communication skills with your dog. We will also introduce your dog to leave it, drop it, and sending to place from a distance. Level 2 will prepare your dog for and conclude with the CGC test during the last class. The CGC is a combination of 10 basic obedience tasks designed to demonstrate your dog’s ability to be a well-behaved member of society. This class has a maximum of 6 dogs to ensure plenty of one-on-one attention. The completion of this class will result in eligibility for our Lifetime Class and our Level 3 class where you will bring your dog to a new environment to help refine your communication in new places. We cap this class at 6 dogs so call to sign up soon!
