The AKC CGC - also known as the American Kennel Club's Canine Good Citizenship Test -- is a 10 part test that helps define in concrete terms what it means for a dog to be well behaved. The CGC is a frequent prerequisite for credentialing dogs for some animal assisted programs. It's also a great guide by which to assess your dog's overall manners both at home and in public.
Co sponsored by Basics and Beyond Dog Academy and Hand in Paw, the event details are as follows:
WHAT: Bully Certified! An AKC Canine Good Citizen Testing Event

This event is being dedicated to the memory of Ted, an American Staffordshire terrier owned by Sandy Smith of Tremont (Cleveland) who was CGC-certified. Ted recently succumbed to leukemia and lymphoma. A small memorial will be set up for Ted at the event, and donations will be accepted in his honor.
