I am proud to announce that I have become an evaluator through AKC for the following:
Canine Good Citizen (CGC) AKC S.T.A.R Puppy AKC Community Canine - the advanced level of CGC Urban Canine Good Citizen Trick Dog Tests and Home Manners Tests
CANINE GOOD CITIZEN PROGRAM All dogs can be good dogs, and all owners can be good owners. The Canine Good Citizen program is an expert-made training program designed to help you and your dog be the best you can be - together. Canine Good Citizen is a 10-skill test that teaches good manners to dogs and responsible dog ownership to their owners. CGC is open to all dogs - purebred and mixed breed. There are no age minimums or limits for participating in the CGC program. By training in CGC, you and your dog will deepen your bond and become a more connected team. Not only will you and your dog learn the basics of dog training and master skills like sit, down, and stay, but your dog will become a welcomed community member when out in public. The CGC title is a prerequisite for many therapy dog certifications, as well as a great introduction to more advanced dog sports and activities.
S.T.A.R. PUPPY PROGRAM AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy is a program designed to get dog owners and their puppies off to a good start. AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy is an excellent first in-person training class for puppies. AKC S.T.A.R. Training classes teach you how to best communicate with your puppy. Organized training classes also provide an opportunity for your dog to socialize with other dogs. In classes aimed at earning the AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy distinction, you’ll be able to get information on all of your puppy-raising questions including housetraining, chewing, and the most effective way to teach practical skills such as coming when called. AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy training is a natural lead in to the AKC Canine Good Citizen Program.
