Join our 6-week Canine Good Citizen prep course or drop in as needed! Led by experienced trainers Cassie Le and Kali Grimm, this outdoor class helps you build focus, practice calm greetings, and enjoy better walks—skills that go well beyond earning a title.

The CGC test is included with the full 6-week course. Drop-in participants can test for an additional fee.
