Advanced & Canine Good Citizen (Level 3) | Group Class

Our Canine Good citizen class will include learning the ten steps of the American Kennel Club’s (AKC) Canine Good Citizen (CGC) test. The Canine Good Citizen is a program that promotes responsible dog ownership and encourages the training of well-mannered dogs. To sign up for this course, you must have completed our Basics and Advanced levels or classes equivalent to a different trainer. Our trainer is happy to talk about finding the perfect class for your pup if you did not complete the basics and advanced training with District Dogs.

The ten objectives are as follows:

• Accepting a friendly stranger
• Sitting politely for petting
• Allowing necessary grooming procedures
• Walking on a loose lead
• Walking through a crowd
• Sitting and lying down on command and staying in place
• Coming when called
• Reacting appropriately to walking by a dog and person
• Reacting appropriately to distractions
• Calmly enduring supervised separation from the owner
