Purrfect Citizens
 

Canine Good Citizen Prep Class/Intermediate Level

This class is designed to prepare you and your dog to successfully complete the AKC’s Canine Good Citizen test. As part of the curriculum we focus on teaching you how to move from a continuous reinforcement schedule using treats or toys to a variable reinforcement schedule which will decrease your dependence on food rewards for training and teaching. Increasing reliability through building your relationship with your dog is the goal of this class. The CGC Test is given at the end of the class session (normally $15).

Testimonials

There wouldn’t be anything you guys could improve on because everything is perfect. The training is broken down in such a manner that is understandable. You didn’t make anyone feel inferior or intimidated. You guys were always willing to explain why we and our dogs do the things we do. It makes life a lot different when you can understand why and what drives a dog to do such things, good or bad. I also like the topic about how other people sabotage our dog’s success and how most of the time (if not all) the dogs react because of the humans’ behavior. Thank you for everything.
