Want your dog to be a Good Citizen? Join us for our upcoming AKC Canine Good Citizen (CGC) Prep Course!
This class will cover the essential skills necessary to pass your Canine Good Citizen test. This evaluation is specially formulated to assess the skills of dogs and handlers required for responsive dog ownership. In addition to developing critical practical skills that allow owners to enjoy increased freedom with their dogs, participants will learn skills that clarify communication and therefore strengthening the human-animal bond between dog and handler.
"CGC is a ten-skill training program that's open to all dogs-purebred and mixed breed-that focuses on teaching the basics of good manners and obedience, instilling the values of responsible ownership, and strengthening the bond between you and your dog at home and out in the community.
After mastering the ten skills, passing the CGC test together, and taking the Responsible Dog Ownership pledge, you and your pup will join the proud ranks of over 1 million dogs who have earned their Canine Good Citizen Award - accomplishment that's definitely worthy of extra belly rubs!" - The American Kennel Club CGC Website
During the final class, participants will have the opportunity to take their test with CGC Evaluator and earn their CGC Title!
By taking this class, you will prepare your dog to navigate the world safely and responsibly, all while building a stronger and more communicative relationship together!

This is not your average basic obedience class. Through this course you will learn how to lay critical foundation skills in communication that will set you and your dog up for success through the entirety of your lives together.
Being a great dog owner is more than just knowing how to get your dog to do tricks. Sit, down, and stay are all great tools to help on your dog training journey, but this class will offer something much deeper. At Summit K9, we believe in taking a holistic approach to training that takes into account your lifestyle and your relationship with your pet. This means that our classes focus not only on teaching behaviors and training techniques, but teaching you how to fold training into everyday life with your dog.
By taking this class, you will create a strong foundation in communication and training that will empower you to build new behaviors and address potential problems long after you have completed this course.
This course will take a deep dive into how dogs learn, how to communicate with your dog, how to motivate your dog to volunteer the behaviors that you want and ditch the ones you don't, and ultimately, how you can become your dog's best friend!
