What is the Canine Good Citizen Test?
The American Kennel Club offers the Canine Good Citizen test to all dogs both mixed and purebred. It assesses the ability of a dog to be a
well-behaved member of the community. The certificate is earned by passing the ten components of the test which proves an owners commitment to having a well-mannered dog. Some apartments or condos will rent to people with dog's that have their CGC certification. In addition, several insurance companies offer lower rates for homeowners whose dogs have obtained their CGC certification. Most service or therapy dog organizations require the CGC as a prerequisite for therapy dog work. Every dog can be a good citizen. Show the world you are a responsible pet owner and your dog is a good citizen!! New this year we will be offering the advanced Canine Good Citizen test called the Community Canine (CGCA). This test consists of 10 components but is conducted out in the community.
