Level 3 Dog Training Classes We bring dogs into our families as companions to share our lives. How much of our lives they can fully share is ultimately determined by their level of training and their habituation to different situations and environments. The American Kennel Club (AKC) Canine Good Citizen (CGC) test is a well accepted baseline of a “good-mannered” dog that is able to join us in most aspects of family life. Even if you do not aspire to take the CGC test, we encourage you to train yourself and your dog to this level so that you can both enjoy your relationship to its fullest. Canine Good Citizen Workshop This five week workshop focuses on preparing you and your dog for the AKC CGC test (http://www.akc.org/events/cgc/). It will also help prepare your dog for the Therapy Dogs International (http://www.tdi-dog.org/) evaluation. Key behaviors practiced in class include sit and down stays, polite greeting/acceptance of strangers and other dogs, recall, walking politely, handling, and supervised separation. To enroll in a CGC workshop, dogs and handlers must have completed Green Acres Basic Manners course, at least one Level 2 workshop and have been successfully evaluated by the Green Acres Training staff as being able to consistently perform the following behaviors: Remain focused and under control in distracting environments Sit and down on a single cue Perform 20 second sit-stays and 60 second down-stays in low levels of distraction Leave food/objects on the floor upon request Recall from 20 feet with minimal distractions Walk politely for 40 feet while performing right, left, and 180 degree turns   If you have not previously attended a Green Acres Kennel Shop training class but believe that you and your dog can perform the aforementioned behaviors, please call us at 945-6841 and ask to talk to our training staff for class entry details. The fee for this class is $60. Level 3 Class Schedule   2010 START DATES CLASS TUE THU SAT CGC Workshop $60 (4 to 5 students) 5/25, 9/14 7PM 4/1, 10/21 7PM 8/21 3PM
