CGC Classes & Testing in Providence, RI
CGC Prep Class
In this six-week linear class, you’ll hone your dog’s skills for the AKC Canine Good Citizen (CGC) test. Exercises include supervised separation, 20′ sit and down stays, loose leash walking with distractions, and more!
Prerequisite Classes: At least 8 Flex Classes, including at least 2 in 2024. If you’ve taken classes elsewhere, please contact us before enrolling.
Prerequisite Dog Skills: Sit & down on cue with 5+ seconds duration, loose leash walking, self-control around food placed on the floor, and name recognition.
CGC Testing Events
Our AKC Canine Good Citizen testing events are open to the general public, not just Crossbones students! Each testing event offers all three levels of CGC tests: Canine Good Citizen, Community Canine (CGCA), and Urban (CGCU).
Each test is $30 + tax, and we award medallions for each test successfully completed!
