This class is not a good match for dogs with aggression issues because we will be working off leash some of the time and dogs will occasionally come face-to-face. We can put up barriers for small or shy dogs to get the space they need from other dogs.

Want to get notified if an earlier class opens up or additional classes are posted? Add your email address to this list if you’ve already met or are currently taking the required prerequisites for this class. We’ll contact you when a new class is posted to the website. Once notified, register as soon as possible to reserve your spot! If you do not already have the code to register to we recommend reaching out to ask for it before new classes are posted so you don’t miss out.

More about the Canine Good Citizen Training class:

Prepare for the American Kennel Club (AKC) test to officially make your dog a Canine Good Citizen (CGC).

Activities include:

  • Greeting a friendly stranger and sitting politely for petting
  • Being well behaved and calm around other dogs
  • Walking through a crowd on a loose leash
  • Reliably coming when called off-leash
  • Reliably responding to sit, down, and stay at a distance
  • Staying calm when left with a trusted person for 3 minutes

Canine Good Citizen is a 5 lesson “series” class scheduled 1 day a week over a 5-week period (unless there are skip dates, e.g., for Holidays). Classes can’t be swapped or rescheduled because each class has a set begin and end date with content that builds from class to class.

This class includes a free dog training clicker and an instant download of our 100+ page Ahimsa Dog Training Manual. You can also purchase a hard copy at the Ahimsa Training Center. Click here for more information on our Ahimsa adult dog classes in Seattle.
