If there's enough interest, students can work towards earning the Canine Good Citizen (CGC) title on their dog:

CGC is a certification program that is designed to reward dogs who have good manners at home and in the community.   The Canine Good Citizen Program is a two-part program that stresses responsible pet ownership for owners and basic good manners for dogs.  All dogs who pass the 10-step CGC test may receive a certificate from the American Kennel Club.

Dogs do not have to be purebred to take the CGC test. More details about the test can be found on our “Canine Good Citizen” link.  Please read our Canine Good Citizen page for more details:

TRICK DOG CLASS

 New Class is starting TBD

For more information and to sign up, Email Melody Newberry at:


Melody will be teaching and testing tricks at the NOVICE and Intermediate Levels

AKC new titles for: Trick Dog and Virtual Home Manners. 
  
The Novice Trick Dog test requires the dog to perform 10 tricks but a CGC title counts as five (at Novice level). Dogs with a CGC can quickly move on and work at the Intermediate title. 

This is an introductory class so no prior experience is necessary, but it would be beneficial if the dogs already know basics like sit, down and work on a flat collar and leash.


NOTE: Melody is available to do "virtual testing" for your Trick Dog title and/or Virtual Home Manners

Contact her directly by Emailing: aknewberrys@gmail.com

Information about Trick Dog tricks can be found at http://www.akc.org/about-trick-dog/


Information about Virtual Home Manners: Virtual Home Manners – American Kennel Club (akc.org)
