Canine Good Citizen Series (New Educational Series)

We’re starting a new weekly series focused on the Canine Good Citizen pathway, from Star Puppy all the way through Canine Good Citizen (CGC), Community Canine, and Advanced CGC skills. Each week we’ll break down one test item at a time, what it actually looks like in real life, what evaluators are looking for, and how to build those skills in a way that makes sense for both dog and handler. This series is designed to help take the guesswork out of the CGC process and make training feel more clear, structured, and achievable. At Dawgs at Work, we also support teams directly through training and preparation, and we offer official CGC testing through our AKC approved evaluators. Whether you’re just starting with a puppy or working toward advanced public access reliability, we can help guide you through each step of the process. Next week we’ll begin with Star Puppy and build from there.
