AKC Canine Good Citizen Training
What is it?
This is an 8 week course that will cover the principles of the American Kennel Club Good Citizen test. This is a 10-step, non-competitive test evaluating basic manners and responsible pet ownership for all dog breeds. It serves as a benchmark for polite behavior in public and is a prerequisite for therapy dog training. Passing requires passing all 10 tests, including staying calm around strangers, grooming, and obedience

The program and participation start with a veteran or widow of a veteran. Immediate family of the veteran living in the household are welcome (as long as they are participating in the dog training and not disruptive to the class). Also, caregivers of disabled veterans.
