The AKC Canine Good Citizen (CGC) Program is a gold standard in dog training and behavior certification. At Casper’s Camp Hope, we proudly offer this program to help dog owners in Florida achieve a well-mannered, socially adjusted canine companion.
What is the AKC CGC Program?
The CGC program is a training and certification initiative by the American Kennel Club (AKC) that assesses a dog’s behavior in real-world scenarios. It’s designed for all breeds and ages to encourage responsible pet ownership and well-behaved dogs.
Why is CGC Certification Important?
- Improved Behavior: The program emphasizes good manners, making your dog a joy to be around at home and in public.
- Community Acceptance: CGC-certified dogs are welcomed in many dog-friendly establishments and communities.
- Foundation for Advanced Training: It’s a stepping stone for therapy dog certification or advanced obedience training.
What Does the CGC Test Include?
The test evaluates ten key skills, including:
- Accepting a friendly stranger.
- Walking on a loose leash.
- Reacting calmly to distractions.
At Casper’s Camp Hope, we prepare you and your dog for success in the CGC test with personalized training programs.
