While Canine Good Citizen tests simulate real-world scenarios, such as a dog and handler navigating through a "crowd" of evaluators in a ring, the aim of AKC Community Canine is to assess the dog's abilities in authentic environments. For instance, instead of being evaluated in a ring, in AKC Community Canine, the "walks through a crowd" test entails the dog maneuvering through an actual crowd at venues like a dog show, a bustling sidewalk, a therapy dog session, or a training club.
The CGC test and the AKC Community Canine test may be taken on the same day.
Begin by training your dog the following 10 steps:
Dogs must pass all 10 items of the test to receive the CGCA title.
Visit the American Kennel Club website for more information.
Once your dog can perform the 10 required tricks, video them. You can either combine the videos into one video that you upload to YouTube or you can send 10 individual videos to K9 Titles. You can also send videos via Facebook
Once you have videos of your dog performing the tricks required, it is time to contact K9 Titles via text or email them. You can either combine the videos into one video that you upload to YouTube or you can send 10 individual videos to K9 Titles.
Now that K9 Titles has your information, we will evaluate your video.
1. After watching the video, once the dog passes, the Evaluator will send the combined Checklist/Video Verification Form to the dog owner. The Evaluator will also send a copy of this form to AKC.
2. The dog owner will send to AKC:
a) the Checklist/Video Verification, and
b) the AKC Community Canine form along with a fee of $25.00*.
3. The AKC will then process your paperwork and award your title and certificate.
