Canine Good Citizen Advanced (CGCA)


The AKC Community Canine is the advanced level of AKC’s Canine Good Citizen (CGC) program. This class practices the skills in the 10-step test for the CGCA title.


 Class Description: The AKC Community Canine program is all about ensuring you have a well-behaved dog while you’re out and about in the community. Where CGC happens in a simulated environment, the 10-step AKC Community Canine test is conducted in real life situations—like walking on a busy sidewalk or through a local park–giving you and your dog the confidence to enjoy every day to the fullest, no matter what comes your way. The class concentrates on fun & motivation, communication & increasing basic skills, and testing the dog’s skills in preparation for the CGCA test 


Prerequisites: 

To participate in the CGCA class, dogs must meet the following requirements: 

  • Must already have a Canine Good Citizen (CGC) certificate or title on record at AKC.

  • Must have an AKC number of one of 3 types (AKC registration number, Purebred Alternative Listing (PAL) number, or AKC Canine Partners number). All dogs, including mixed breeds, can get an AKC number. The reason for the AKC number requirement is that this is how AKC createS titles; they attach the titles to the dog’s number.

Canine Good Citizen (CGC)

AKC's Canine Good Citizen certification program 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 CGC test can receive a certificate from the American Kennel Club and they are automatically recorded in the AKC's Canine Good Citizen Archive.


The purpose of the CGC Program is to ensure that our favorite companion, the dog, can be a respected member of the community. All dogs, including both purebred and mixed breed dogs are welcome to participate in the CGC program. 


Dogs must be old enough to have received necessary immunizations such as rabies vaccines, and there is no age limit on the test.  A dog is never too old to be a good citizen.


The Obedience Club of San Diego County (OCSDC) offers the CGC test to those interested in taking it at the end of each Intermediate Obedience class.
