Canine Good Citizen (CGC) Test

The American Kennel Club’s Canine Good Citizen test (CGC) is a certification program that evaluates dogs in simulated everyday situations in a relaxed, non-competitive atmosphere. Dogs that pass the CGC test are considered reliable family and community members and will receive a certificate from the American Kennel Club.

Brianna has become an Canine Good Citizen evaluator effective April 2022!

  • Reacts with confidence to distractions
