Service Description

Our CGC Prep Program is a structured, bundle-based training course that builds the skills your dog needs to succeed on the AKC Canine Good Citizen test. Whether your dog is starting from scratch or just needs refinement, we’ll create a plan that develops polite manners, impulse control, and composure in real-world situations. Instead of booking one session at a time, you’ll purchase a training bundle (3–40 days) and each session is deducted from your account until your program is complete. This approach ensures consistency, flexibility, and measurable progress toward CGC certification. 🔑 What’s Included - Initial Evaluation (1 Hour) – Assess your dog’s skills, identify areas of focus, and create a custom roadmap for success. Skill-Focused Sessions – Duration: 60-90 minutes - Work through the full CGC checklist, including: 1. Polite greetings with strangers. 2. Calm petting & handling. 3. Loose-leash walking. 4. Reliable recall & heel. 5. Staying calm when separated. 6. Ignoring distractions. 7. Long sit/stays and self-control. CGC Practice Tests – Simulated test sessions to identify gaps and build confidence. Final Test Prep – Review readiness, fine-tune skills, and get step-by-step guidance for exam success. Training Bundles - Choose the right bundle for your dog’s needs—sessions automatically deduct as you progress. 3–5 Day Kickstart Bundle – Focused skill polishing & foundation work. 10 Day Growth Bundle – Build confidence, consistency, and stronger manners. 20 Day Advanced Bundle – Sharpen performance across all 10 CGC test items. 30–40 Day Mastery Bundle – For dogs who need more reinforcement or complete transformation before testing. 🐕 Training Options Collaborative Training – Owner participates directly, learning alongside their dog.
