! Canine Good Citizen/ Basic Obedience:
Does your dog need to learn to sit, stay, down and come to you?
Then these classes are for you!
This Class is designed to give the owners control over their dogs;
to set up a line of communication between the owner and dog;
to teach the dogs basic obedience commands sit, down, stay, come, heel; being polite around people and other dogs;
and for the dog to have some self control.
This training should make the dogs a better companion and a
better neighbor.
Requirements:
* Dogs must be at least 6 months old.
* COMPLETE shot records should be brought on the first night of class,
not just a rabies certificate.
* The first night of class, do NOT bring your dog,
but do bring the means to pay for class.
-----
! The Canine Good Citizen Test is offered several times a year, and is
included with the CGC/Basic Class.
Passing the Tests used in the CGC program show that your dog is:
- healthy and well kept,
- that he can be groomed or examined easily by others,
- accepts other people and their dogs,
- can behave on leash (no excessive pulling or lunging),
- can lie down and sit on command,
- can remain in place (either sitting or laying down),
- can be left alone and is tolerant of distractions.
A CGC title shows that your dog is a well behaved member of your
community and is often the first AKC title earned by dogs.
