Canine Good Citizen Program

The Canine Good Citizen (CGC) program is a certification designed to recognize dogs that demonstrate good manners and behavior in various situations. It teaches and tests essential skills such as greeting people politely, walking on a loose leash, and remaining calm in public. The CGC program encourages responsible pet ownership and strengthens the bond between dogs and their handlers. Successful completion of the CGC test can lead to greater opportunities for dog-friendly activities, including therapy work and community involvement, promoting a positive image of dogs in society.
