The Canine Good Citizen (CGC) Program is
sponsored by the American Kennel Club (AKC) and is open to all dogs, mixed
breeds as well as purebreds. Goals of the CGC Program are to (1) teach
responsible dog ownership to owners and (2) provide basic training and good
manners to dogs. A key component of the CGC Program is the 10-step CGC Test.
- The cost to take the test is $5.00.
- Use of prong or halter-type collars,
clickers, or treats is not permitted during the test.
- Owners of dogs that pass
may send to AKC for a certificate that is suitable for framing.
IPOC conducts
the CGC Test as an adjunct to its obedience classes at IPOC's
training center. Tests are held approximately every
eight weeks, in conjunction with class graduation. For test dates and more
information, please contact
Linda. You may also go the AKC web site at
www.AKC.org for a full description of
each element of the test.
