Canine Good Citizen TestStarted in 1989, the American Kennel Club Canine Good Citizen is a certification program that
is designed to reward dogs who have good manners at home and in the community. The Canine Good Citizen Program is
a two-part program that stresses responsible pet ownership for owners and basic good manners for dogs. All dogs who
pass the 10-step CGC test may receive a certificate from the American Kennel Club.
Many dog owners choose Canine Good Citizen training as the first step in training their dogs. As owners work with their
dogs to teach the CGC skills, they discover the many benefits and joys of training their dog. Dogs who have a solid
obedience education are a joy to live with-they respond well to household routines, have good manners in the presence
of people and other dogs, and they fully enjoy the company of the owner who took the time to provide training,
intellectual stimulation, and a high quality life.
Many other countries (including England, Australia, Japan, Hungary, Denmark, Sweden, Canada, and Finland) have
developed CGC programs based on the AKC's CGC Program. A CGC Neighborhood Model has been established, police
and animal control agencies use CGC for dealing with dog problems in communities, some therapy dog groups use the
CGC as a partial screening tool, and some 4-H groups around the country have been using the CGC as a beginning dog
training program for children. Veterinarians have recognized the benefits of well-trained dogs and there are some CGC
programs in place in veterinary hospitals. State legislatures began recognizing the CGC program as a means of
advocating responsible dog ownership and 22 states now have Canine Good Citizen resolutions.
Who Can Participate?
All dogs, including both purebred and mixed breed dogs are welcome to participate in the AKC's Canine Good Citizen®
(CGC) Program. Dogs must be old enough to have received necessary immunizations such as rabies vaccines. Owners
will sign the Responsible Dog Owners Pledge attesting to having the dog under the routine care of a veterinarian who will
work with the owner to determine an appropriate plan and schedule for vaccines and other health care procedures.
There is no age limit for the CGC test. A dog is never too old to be a good citizen. Puppies who have completed all
immunizations and boosters may be tested, however, because we know that behavior and temperament can change over
time, when puppies pass the CGC test, owners should have them re-tested as adults.
