Canine Good Citizen®, AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy® and/or AKC Community Canine℠
An AKC club near you can provide you and your dog with training classes and testing for AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy, CGC and AKC Community Canine. You will be able to earn official AKC titles in Canine Good Citizen (the “CGC” title) and AKC Community Canine (the “CGCA” title).
Experienced instructors at AKC clubs can take you and your dog from beginning puppy training all the way to advanced competition training for adult dogs. At AKC clubs, you’ll be able to meet and interact with expert trainers, meet dog owners who are training the same breed as yours, and you’ll meet some great new friends…both humans and dogs!
