Canine
Good Citizenship ~ limited to 12 dogs
The
Canine Good Citizenship (CGC) is an American Kennel Club (AKC)
certification program that
is designed to reward dogs who have good manners at home and in
the community. The GABOC
Canine Good Citizen Program is a two-part program that is 3 weeks
long. The first two
weeks are classes that stress responsible pet ownership for owners
and basic good manners,
with a third week that is an AKC sanctioned final examination.
All dogs who pass the 10-step
CGC test may receive a certificate from the American Kennel Club.

Rally
~ limited to 6-8 dogs
An
8 week (Beginners) class held on Monday nights. Rally was created
to promote a positive
relationship
between a dog and his owner. Animation and enthusiasm throughout
the performance
is encouraged. The emphasis is on fun and excitement for the dog
and handler team. Each team is
judged on the execution of a single, continuous performance of
numbered exercises on a course,
uninterrupted by orders from the judge. Many of the exercises
are derived from "doodles" people
use when training for obedience. The best part is you can talk
to your dog throughout the
performanace!
If you are already training in obedience, Rally gives you the
opportunity to work
on
sits, turns, figure 8's and heeling whilehaving fun with your
dog in a less formal environment. If
you are not into competitive obedience, Rally still gives
you the chance to work and bond with
your dog in a fun, relaxed atmosphere.
