AKC CGC CERT PREP
These lessons are very demanding and they call for a lot of patience, discipline, consistency and responsibility because the goal is to train your dog to be well-behaved and calm in ANY situation.
In this program, you’ll know how our training methods work; you’ll learn and master the 10 skills your dog should have to be a polite member of society and pass the CGC test:
CANINE GOOD CITIZEN TEST ITEMS
ACCEPTING A FRIENDLY STRANGER
SITTING POLITELY FOR PETTING
ACCEPT BEING HANDLED LIKE A GROOMER OR VETERINARIAN WOULD TOUCH AND EXAMINE ANY DOG
OUT FOR A WALK IN ANY DIRECTION WITHOUT PULLING OR LUNGING
WALKING THROUGH A CROWD
SIT AND DOWN ON CUE/STAYING IN PLACE
COMING WHEN CALLED
REMAINING CALM WHEN ANOTHER DOG(S) AND DOG HANDLER(S) APPROACHES
REACTION TO DISTRACTIONS
REMAINING CALM WHILE BEING HANDLED BY ANOTHER PERSON AND THE ORIGINAL HANDLER GOES OUT OF SIGHT.
Since Guillermo is a Certified CGC Evaluator from the AKC, you can decide whether to take the test with him or directly at the AKC. The important thing is that you train with your dog with discipline and consistency until you master the skills required to pass the test.
