Course Details
Part 2 of a 2 Part Workshop Series. If you've completed your CGC certificate you may be thinking now what? Well, why not continue to grow your knowledge, skills and bonding experience with your dog by tackling the next level REAL WORLD skills and testing offered through the COMMUNITY CANINE and URBAN CGC certificate programs.
Our dogs have become active participants in our everyday life so it’s up to us to make sure they have the life skills they need to enjoy these everyday activities with us to the fullest. The CGC certificate starts the ball rolling with basic foundations but it’s the COMMUNITY CANINE and URBAN CGC programs that help ensure our dogs have the real world, real life skills and that they can apply them when out and about with us.
IN THIS WORKSHOP WE’LL DELVE INTO:
- What both the COMMUNITY CANINE and URBAN CGC program entail
- Who can participate (dogs & humans)
- Why it’s beneficial to our dogs to continue our training
- What you need to do to prepare for each of the two tests
- Advanced Skills required for the Community Canine Certificate (10 skills)
- Advanced Skills required for the Urban CGC Certificate (10 Skills)
- Foundation Basics – How To LEVEL UP from basic CGC
- Equipment & Locations needed.
Finally, we’ll take a brief look at how these two programs:
- Can be beneficial in setting you up for success in other sports
- Can be applied to volunteer services
GOLD SPOT STUDENTS WILL choose either the Community Canine OR the Urban CGC program and then submit a 3 minute video & receive feedback on 3 of the skills in the certificate program they have chosen to work on.
