Prepares your dog to take the ten step test offered by the AKC. It goes over basic obedience as well as putting your dog in a social situation with strangers and different dogs and teaching them to be model canine good citizens. Although the test is not included in the class, it is offered after each class completion at the K-9 Connection and after passing the test, your dog is awarded an official AKC certificate declaring your dog to be a Canine Good Citizen. This is also the first step you need to take if you are thinking of doing any therapy dog work. (pre-registration required)
