YOU DID IT!

Continue working through the levels

Practice in lots of different locations

Like all skills, you and your dog get better with practice. All of the skills are listed on the Week 4 page.

Bonus Exercise: Drop It

Let go of what is in your mouth

It is normal for dogs to guard food, chews, etc. If an animal in nature let anyone take their food, they wouldn't survive very long. Resource guarding is a survival instinct. Teach your dog to trust giving things up to you willingly.

Bonus Article: First Aid

Be prepared in case of emergency

A student requested this years ago, so we created a list of essential items for a canine first aid kit as our graduation gift to you. If you travel with your dog, be sure to bring these items along. 

What's Next?

Earn the AKC Canine Good Citizen TItle

If your dog has the basics down, the next step is the CGC course. The course focuses on using manners at home and in the community. It is a great starting point for therapy work. The CGC test is included with the course and, if passed, earns your dog the CGC title.
