What the CGC Evaluation Is

The AKC Canine Good Citizen (CGC) test is a nationally recognized certification that proves your dog is polite, well-mannered, and a joy to live with.
 

As an AKC-Approved Evaluator, I offer official testing for:

• CGC (Canine Good Citizen)
   

• CGCA (Community Canine)
   

• CGCU (Urban Canine Good Citizen)
   

Passing earns your dog an official AKC title you can add to their registered name — for example:

"Charlie’s Hero CGC" or "Luna Rae CGCA"

​

How to Prepare

My Private Lessons, Board and Train, and Group Classes all cover the same obedience foundation required to pass these tests.
 

If your dog is already trained, you can book a standalone evaluation.
 

If not, I’ll recommend the best prep path to ensure success.

 

 

Important Notes

​

Dogs who completed a Board and Train with me cannot be evaluated by me for CGC titles (AKC conflict of interest). Your dog must have an AKC Registration, PAL, or Canine Partners Number to make the title official.Testing spots are limited and scheduled by appointment only.
