AKC Community Canine is the third and most advanced level of the Canine Good Citizen Program. The goal of AKC Community Canine is to test the dog’s skills in a natural setting. For example, rather than the dog being tested in a ring, in AKC Community Canine the dog will walk through a real world, real crowd scenario setting like a busy sidewalk.

Examples of things dogs in this course will learn include, but are not limited to:
• Standing, sitting, laying down, and waiting under control
• Walking on a loose leash in a natural setting
• Walking on a loose leash through a crowd
• Walking past other dogs without pulling
• Sitting and staying while in a small group of people and dogs
• Recalling with present distractions

At the end of the 6-week class dogs will participate in an exam and successful teams will earn the CGCA title.

• Prerequisite: CGC certification required
• Sundays: April 16 through May 21 (6 weeks of class)
• 10:00 – 11:00AM
• Rabies, Distemper, and Bordetella vaccinations required as well as a negative fecal including Giardia testing

INSTRUCTOR: Jessica Ackerman, CPDT-KA
