Canine Good Citizen/Trick Dog
CGC – Canine Good Citizen
The CGC program is designed to reward dogs who have good manners at home and in the community. It stresses responsible pet ownership for owners and basic good manners for dogs. There are no age minimums or limits for participating in the Canine Good Citizen program, because yes, you can always teach an old dog new tricks!
Upon successful completion of a test, you will be provided with the appropriate form to mail to the AKC (with a fee) and the title will be added to the end of your dog’s name!
