CGC + ADVANCED & URBAN

This four week class assumes a baseline level of obedience, communication and control in each dog signed up.

That said, this will also be a class where homework is important! While these tests may seem difficult, there are actually quite a few repeat items that simply increase in difficulty. We’ll cover it all and give plenty of homework. If everyone is feeling confident with their dog after four weeks we can schedule a test day!

​​

During week one we will go over the three tests, the purpose of the AKC Family Dog programs and what our goals are. We’ll discuss communication and equipment as well.

​​

4 week class.​

Pre-requisites: Loose Leash Basics is recommended but can be skipped if the dog is non-reactive and has some basic obedience.
