A significant benefit of AKC® Dog Training is the preparation it offers for AKC® certifications, such as the Canine Good Citizen® (CGC). Achieving these certifications is a mark of excellence in training and behavior, recognized nationwide. Dogs that pass the CGC test demonstrate good manners in the home, in public, and around other dogs, which can open doors to more activities like therapy dog work or advanced training opportunities. These certifications not only reflect a dog’s good behavior but also enhance the owner’s confidence in managing their pet in different environments, knowing their dog is well-trained and responsive.
