AKC Canine Good Citizen Evaluations

What is the CGC Test?

Canine Good Citizen is a 10-skill test that teaches good manners to dogs and responsible dog ownership to their owners

Who Can Participate in CGC?

CGC is open to all dogs–purebred and mixed breed. There are no age minimums or limits for participating in the Canine Good Citizen program, because yes, you can always teach an old dog new tricks!

What is the Official CGC Title?

Your dog can pass the CGC test and earn CGC as a certificate only, or you may choose to earn CGC as an official AKC title (includes certificate). With official AKC titles, the title is listed on the dog’s Title Record, and “CGC” may be listed after the dog’s name (e.g., “Princess, CGC”).

To earn CGC as an official title, dogs must have one of the 3 types of registration: 1) AKC number, 2) Purebred Alternative Listing number (PAL), or 3) AKC Canine Partners number (For mixed-breed dogs).

What Happens on Test Day?

When it comes to test day, there are some things to keep in mind. The CGC test generally lasts less than 10 minutes and usually happens in a relatively controlled environment.
