Canine Good Citizen program. The American Kennel Club's CGC program allows dogs to earn a title for safe, mannerly behavior and basic obedience skills. Earning recognition for good citizenship can be a first step in dog training and can lay a foundation for other events like agility, therapy, or tracking. A CGC title can look great on your dog's resume, especially if you're applying to rent housing! http://www.akc.org/dog-owners/training/canine-good-citizen
