Essential Life Skills (Step 1)

My dog needs to learn the basics and become a better-behaved member of the family.

If you have adopted a new dog, have a dog with little or no prior training, or simply need to brush up on the basics, this comprehensive course will help your dog be successful in and around the home.

This course prepares you for the AKC Canine Good Citizen (CGC) test.

Neighborhood Prep (Step 2)

My dog knows the basics. Now I make those skills more reliable outside the house.

If your dog has completed Essential Life Skills or has had some prior training, you are ready to take those skills to the next level and start practicing in outside environments.

This course prepares you for the AKC Canine Good Citizen Advanced Community (CGCA) test.

Real World Ready (Step 3)

My dog knows the skills. Now I want to see how they do in the real world.

If your dog has completed Neighborhood Prep or has had some intermediate training, then you are ready for this advanced course practicing in busy locations and inside public buildings.

This course prepares you for the AKC Canine Good Citizen Urban (CGCU) test.
