CGCA - Astoria

From 12.30pm until 1.30pm

At Columbia Maritime Museum

$150 for 4 sessions and 1 test or $140 for 4 sessions and no test

This AKC CGCA prep class will meet for 5 Sundays (7/9-8/6) 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 the Columbia Maritime Museum and will incorporate the Sunday Market for certain testing items. Cost is $150 for all 5 classes or $140 if you do not want to take the test in week 5.

If interested please complete a registration form on arnicadia.com. All questions should be directed to my e-mail (arnicadia@gmail.com,) my main Facebook page (Cati Foss,) or my phone 503-468-2559 (text and voicemail accepted!) My class size is limited to 10 dogs only and on a first come first served basis!

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 CGCA 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 CGCA title to their dog's AKC name, and must have a current CGC on file. 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. The CGCA test is extremely comparable the the Therapy Dog certification however and can be a good indicator of whether your dog could pass a test to work in hospitals and nursing homes!
