This AKC CGC prep class will meet for 5 Saturdays (5/20-6/17) in a row for approximately 1 hour the first 4 weeks and for testing the 5th week (starts at 11am and continues until all dogs are finished.) Classes will be held at Manzanita City Park. Cost is $150 for all 5 classes or $140 if you do not want to take the test in week 5.

If interested please contact me either by e-mail (arnicadia@gmail.com,) on my main Facebook page (Cati Foss,) or at 503-468-2559 (text and voicemail accepted,) so I can send you an enrollment form and get some information about you and your pooch! My class size is limited to 10 dogs only and on a first come first served basis! You must send me a completed enrollment form before the 20th to guarantee a spot! If you show up the day of the class, you might be turned away if the class is already full.

Make sure that you bring your standard leash(retractable leashes are not allowed,) a collar or harness your dog CAN'T escape from, plenty of training treats and a slightly hungry dog that is willing to learn as well as making sure I can see a copy of your dog's current vaccinations! Be aware that no training aids are allowed during testing (including clickers, treats, calming aids, e-collars, etc. You can bring a corrective harness or halter to class, but they must test in a non-corrective collar or harness.)

AKC CGC has a 10-step test of skills that dogs must pass to earn the official AKC title and/or certificate. Participants must have a dog that is registered with the AKC if they wish to add a CGC title to their dog's AKC name, it is not necessary however for the class or testing and you can still get a certificate for CGC if you pass the test with a non-AKC dog. As an important note: CGC does NOT make your dog a service dog as there is absolutely no certification process involved for a service dog; it is however a good preparation for public access training.
