Common questions about CGC drop-in sessions

What are CGC drop-in sessions?
CGC drop-in sessions are weekly practice classes where you and your dog can work on the 10 AKC Canine Good Citizen test items in a group setting. No long-term commitment required, just show up when it works for you.
Do I need to sign up for the full 8-week CGC course first?
No, drop-in sessions are perfect for dogs who have some prior training and want flexible, à la carte practice. However, if you're starting from scratch, we recommend our 8-week CGC course for a more structured learning path.
What are the prerequisites for the drop-in sessions?
Dogs should be over 6 months old, pro-social, and have basic obedience skills (sit, down, recall, and basic leash manners). Prior CGC training is helpful but not required.
Can I attend drop-in sessions to prepare for the CGC evaluation?
Absolutely, many students use drop-in sessions to brush up on specific test items before scheduling their official AKC CGC evaluation.
Do I need to register in advance?
Yes, we recommend booking your spot in advance as space is limited. Use the booking button on this page to reserve your session.
