Canine Good Citizen programMany dog owners choose AKC’s Canine Good Citizen® (CGC) Program as the first step in training their dogs. The CGC® Program lays the foundation for other AKCactivities such as obedience, agility, tracking, and performance events. As you workwith your dog to teach the CGC skills, you’ll discover the many benefits and joys oftraining your dog. Training will enhance the bond between you and your dog. Dogs who have a solid obedience education are a joy to live with-they respond well to household routines, have good manners in the presence of people and other dogs,and they fully enjoy the company of the owner who took the time to provide training,intellectual stimulation, and a high quality life. We sincerely hope that CGC will be onlya beginning for you and your dog and that after passing the CGC test, you’ll continue training in obedience, agility, tracking, or performance events.
