Group Classes

A well-trained dog isn't the only benefit of Group Classes. Dogs who attend classes are less likely to become aggressive or anxious and may even be less likely to develop firework or thunderstorm phobias.

Once your dog has the basic skills, the next step is the AKC CANINE GOOD CITIZEN TEST which proves your dog has good manners in real-world situations. 

​

The CGC Test is included at the end of the course. If passed, your dog earns the official CGC Title. It's a great first step if you are interested in doing Therapy Work with your dog. Some landlords require the CGC for certain breeds. 

​

It is also a point of pride that you and your dog accomplished this together! A dog with good manners in public is a dog you can take with you anywhere and enjoy more activities with.
