AKC CGC Training/Therapy Dog Level One

Service Description

This 9 week long beginning/intermediate dog training class teaches the basic commands every working dog should know. Sit, stay, down, wait at doors, don't jump on people, leave it, behaving around other dogs, and walking on a loose lead are all covered in class. This class is ideal for anyone wanting to take their dog on to bigger and better things such as Therapy or Service Dog work. Pet dogs are also welcome and encouraged to attend this class. Included in the class is preparation and testing for the American Kennel Club's Canine Good Citizen certificate (AKC CGC), a title and certification given dogs who show good manners and training in social situations. Class size is limited to eight (8) dogs. Dogs MUST be pre-registered and prepayment is required via Venmo or Zelle (no refunds unless cancellation is at least five days prior to the start of the first class). Payment must be made via Venmo (Sami-Mann-2) or Zelle (9704022441) and please include your dog's name as well as "CGC level 1 registration" in the notes. Contact Sami with any questions. Please note: This class DOES NOT certify your dog as a therapy dog. We do provide the environments, situations and training needed to determine which dogs might be suitable, and enjoy, therapy dog work. For those that show a bright future as a therapy dog, we recommend continuing on with Therapy Dog Level 2.
