Passing the AKC Canine Good Citizen Test

Passing the AKC Canine Good Citizen Test

I think everyone gets nervous when they hear the word “test”, but the AKC’s Canine Good Citizen test is really not so hard once you and your dog have Basic Obedience skills.

Basic CGC Skills
These basic skills include sit, down, heel, here/come, and stay. The dog will also need to be friendly to strangers and other dogs, and will need to be familiar with grooming, such as allowing his/her ears to be checked, allow brushing, and allow the friendly stranger to handle both front feet.
