Canine Good Citizen Prep

Service Description

Canine Good Citizen Prep Course 5 Week Group Class | Tuesdays at 6 PM Diamond in the Ruff, 211 Middle Rd, Acushnet, MA Taught by Master Dog Trainer Chris Maynard of Maynard Dog Training Solutions This 5-week class is for dog owners who want a calmer, more polite, better controlled dog in real life. It is built around the goals of the AKC Canine Good Citizen test, which focuses on everyday manners, leash control, greeting people politely, staying calm around other dogs, handling distractions, and listening without needing constant correction. This class is a good fit for dogs that already know some basics but need more structure, better focus, and more practice around people, dogs, and normal distractions. It is also a great next step for owners who want their dog to become more reliable in public, at home, and around guests. Over the 5 weeks, we will work on polite greetings, sit, down, stay, walking on leash, walking through a crowd, coming when called, calm behavior around another dog, accepting gentle handling, staying under control during distractions, and being separated briefly from the owner. The goal is not just to pass a test. The goal is to build a dog that can think, listen, settle, and stay under control in real-life situations. Each week gives the dog and owner more clarity, more confidence, and better teamwork. Dogs and owners who complete the class will receive a Certificate of Completion from Maynard Dog Training Solutions.
