Canine Good Citizen test

The Canine Good Citizen (CGC) test is an assessment developed by the American Kennel Club to evaluate a dog's behavior and manners in everyday situations. It measures qualities like obedience, proper social interactions, and responsiveness to commands. The goal is to ensure dogs are well-behaved at home, in public, and around people and other animals. Passing the test demonstrates that a dog has good manners and can be a safe, reliable companion, making it easier for owners to enjoy outings and social settings with their pets.
