CANINE GOOD CITIZEN TEST
presented by the High Desert Obedience Club
The CGC Test is to
demonstrate that the dog as a companion of man, can be a respected member of
the community, and can be trained and conditioned to always behave in the
home, in public places, and in the presence of other dogs in a manner that
will reflect credit on the dog. To qualify, a dog must pass each of the ten
test categories listed below. Cost for the CGC test is $10 for the
first dog and $8 each for any additional dogs.
(Please Note: CGC is not an official AKC title and will not appear on a
dog's registration certificate or pedigree. It is meant to reward dogs for
having good manners, which enhances public acceptance of dogs. It is the
first AKC program ever opened to non-purebred dogs.)
