AKC CGC Batavia, IL
The Basics of AKC CGC: Established in 1989, the program was created to reward those dogs who exhibit good manners at home and in their community. CGC is a two-part program that emphasizes responsible dog ownership and basic good behaviors for dogs. A successful graduate may receive an official certificate from the AKC! For many dog owners, the CGC training is the first step to setting a foundation for other activities like obedience, tracking, agility, and even performance events. While experiencing CGC at WoofBeach with your dog, you’ll find the joys of training your dog while enhancing the bond you share. Dogs with a sound education are enjoyable to own, respond positively to household routines, and exhibit good behaviors around people and other dogs.

Can my dog participate? The AKC GCC program is open to all dogs! Purebreed and mixed breed are welcome. Dogs must simply be old enough to have received immunizations such as the rabies vaccine. Otherwise, there is no age limit because dogs are never too old to become good canine citizens.
