Advanced dog obedience builds off of the intermediate skills learned from the AKC Canine Good Citizen class. With AKC Community Canine (CGCA), your dog will learn new skills in a busy, public setting. Some of what your dog will learn with CGCA are patience, impulse control, and ignoring distractions. Not only can advanced obedience training help your dog to become more obedient, but it can also help to strengthen the bond between you and your dog and can help to prepare them for therapy training.
