CGC will provide you with the foundation you need to be a responsible dog owner, and it will show you how to teach your dog the skills he/she needs to be a well-mannered pet. The AKC CGC Program is a noncompetitive program open to all dogs, purebreds and mixes alike. The heart of the CGC Program is the AKC CGC evaluation, which assesses the ability of a dog to be a well-behaved member of the community. The CGC award shows a commitment to responsible dog ownership, and passing the ten-item CGC evaluation. After passing the evaluation, you can complete the paperwork to have your dog receive his/her AKC CGC Title. You’ll also receive a certificate from AKC, monthly email newsletter and your dog’s beautiful blue AKC CGC Ribbon. **If you would like to be tested for AKC CGC please let your instructor know prior to the week before class ends** Criteria for Graduation: Accepting a friendly stranger Sitting politely for petting Appearance and grooming Out for a walk (walking on a loose lead) Walking through a crowd Sit and down on command / staying in place Comes when called Reactions to another dog Reaction to distractions Supervised separation
