Loretta Cleveland is certified from the American Kennel Club to give The Good
Citizen Test. Your dog must pass ten exercises (shown on the right)
to pass the Good Citizen Test. If he/she does passes you will
receive a certificate from The American Kennel Club. This is a great
way to get your dog prepared for therapy work. We do offer group
classes to get your dog prepared to take the test.

Program is a two-part
program that stresses responsible pet ownership for owners and basic
good manners for dogs. All dogs who pass the 10-step CGC test may
receive a certificate from the American Kennel Club.
Many dog owners choose Canine Good Citizen training as the first
step in training their dogs. The Canine Good Citizen Program lays
the foundation for other AKC activities such as obedience, agility,
tracking, and performance events. As you work with your dog to teach
the CGC skills, you'll discover the many benefits and joys of
training your dog. Training will enhance the bond between you and
your dog. Dogs who have a solid obedience education are a joy to
live with-they respond well to household routines, have good manners
in the presence of people and other dogs, and they fully enjoy the
company of the owner who took the time to provide training,
intellectual stimulation, and a high quality life. We sincerely hope
that CGC will be only a beginning for you and your dog and that
after passing the CGC test, you'll continue training in obedience,
agility, tracking, or performance events. (continued on website)
