Canine Good Citizenship Program

Many countries outside the United States have created canine good citizenship programs based off the AKC's program.  Neighborhood programs set up by law enforcement or animal control agencies utilize parts of the program to deal with dog problems in communities.  Therapy dog groups sometimes use the program as a screening tool for their program.  


Often Specialty Clubs offer the Canine Good Citizenship Test as an activity at their annual conformation shows.  It is a very good idea to have your conformation dog complete this test.
