On the trail or in the community, you see some of our Canine Good Citizen dogs in training. Often you'll hear a muttered 'wish my dog that was well trained' as an owned dog struggles past a CGC dog patiently waiting in a sit. Our CGC trainers smiling proudly to themselves as they think, "they should have adopted from Austin Pets Alive!"
The basics
CGC certification is the first step in getting your dog certified as a therapy dog, and the pup comes this well trained before an adopter even gets involved. Come fall in love with just one of the dogs working hard on their manners like Chato (CGC ready-he's mastered ALL of the skills!), Buster, Tilly, Luna, Bambi, Brutus, Roxy, Murray Brown, Chomps, Spindle, Quincy and Tank!
