Class Description:
AKC Urban CGC is a title in the Canine Good Citizen family of awards and titles that also include AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy, Canine Good Citizen and AKC Community Canine.
AKC Urban CGC requires that the dog demonstrate CGC skills and beyond in a setting that includes traffic, crowds, noises, smells and other distractions that are present in a city or town. As with Canine Good Citizen, AKC Urban CGC is a 10-step test of skills that dogs must pass to earn the official AKC Urban CGC title. This is a title that appears on the dog’s title record at AKC.
AKC Urban CGC is a test that demonstrates dogs are well-behaved and well-trained when in public settings. All skills are tested on leash.

Ready to have some fun, teach your dog some tricks, and earn the new AKC trick dog titles? Tricks are a great way to have fun with your dog and burn off some energy. In this class we will start with basic trick skills such as paw targeting (shake), nose targeting (close doors, spin in circles), and tricks that tire them out (fetch, sit pretty, and bow).
Along the way, we’ll cover many of the tricks on the AKC’s novice and intermediate trick dog checklists, allowing students to get titles by the end of the classes.
Class Description: You can now earn AKC Trick Dog titles thru the OCSDC's Trick Dog Class. Novice/Intermediate Trick Dog class will cover training of the tricks from the Novice or Intermediate Tricks Checklist. Each week you’ll get a chance to demonstrate the tricks your dog has mastered. If you’ve demonstrated 10 of the tricks by the end of class (only 5 tricks are needed if you already have your CGC title!), you’ll earn your official AKC Novice or Intermediate Trick Dog title!

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.

The class concentrates on fun & motivation, communication & increasing basic skills, and testing the dog’s skills in preparation for the CGCA test.
