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."
