CANINE GOOD CITIZEN

(For dogs who have completed Advanced Beginner Obedience)
Designed for dogs that have been through prior training and already have a dependable level of skill.  This class is designed to continue your dog's training to make him or her into a pleasant companion and a good public citizen.  The class is structured and focuses on maintaining traditional obedience postures of "sit, down, stay come" and so on, but in public and with other dogs.  These are achieved through creative exercises done in a fun and enjoyable setting.  Dogs that pass through this level will be eligible to be evaluated for the AKC certification.
