Canine Good Citizen

With your dog to teach the CGC skills, you’ll discover the many benefits of training. You’ll enhance your bond with your dog and experience pride in owning a well behaved pup. The CGC award is a prerequisite for many therapy dog groups and emotional support dogs.

American Kennel Club's Canine Good Citizen program is the standard of behavior for dogs in our communities. Canine Good Citizen is part of the AKC Family Dog Program. It also provides an excellent foundation for getting started in dog sports.

Benefits of Training Your Pet

At Barking Oaks Pet Resort, we believe there are many benefits that come from having a well-trained pet, including:

1. 1.Provides them with basic good manners.
2. 2. Allows your pet to safely socialize with other animals as well as people.
3. 3. One of the main reasons pets are abandoned or given to shelters is because of behavioral issues. Training ensures that your pet will stay with you as a trusted companion.
4. 4. Training your pet reduces the cost of owning a pet in the long run. No more chewed up shoes, urine on carpets, ruined flower beds, etc.
5. 5. Improves the overall quality of life in your home.
6. 6. Training can benefit a pet no matter their age or breed. Allows you to get to know and enjoy your dog
