Quoted from the AKC's website:
"Welcome to the AKC’s Canine Good Citizen®
(CGC) Program. Started in 1989, CGC 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. The
Canine Good Citizen Program lays the foundation for
other AKC activities such as obedience, agility,
tracking, and performance events. As you work with
your dog to teach the CGC skills, you'll discover the
many benefits and joys of training your dog. Training
will enhance the bond between you and your 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. We sincerely hope that CGC will be only a
beginning for you and your dog and that after
passing the CGC test, you'll continue training in
obedience, agility, tracking, or performance events.
AKC’s Canine Good Citizen® (CGC) Program is one
of the most rapidly growing programs in the American
Kennel Club. There are many exciting applications of
this wonderful, entry level that go beyond the testing
and certifying of dogs."
