are a Perfect Gift!
Canine Good Citizen (CGC) /  Started in 1989, CGC is a certification program that is designed to reward dogs who have good manners at home and in the community. The Canine Good Citizen Program is a two-part program that stresses responsible pet ownership for owners and basic good manners for dogs. All dogs who pass the 10-step CGC test may receive a certificate from the American Kennel Club. We recommend recertifying your dog every 2 years.
The primary objective of the TDI dog and handler is to provide comfort and companionship by sharing the dog with the patients in hospitals, nursing homes and other institutions and wherever else the Therapy Dog is needed. This is done in a way that increases emotional well being, promotes healing, and improves the quality of life for the people being visited and the staff that cares for these people To take the TDI Test a dog must be a minimum of one (1) year of age and have a sound temperament. Each dog must pass the American Kennel Club's Canine Good Citizen Test (CGC), and a temperament evaluation for suitability to become a Therapy Dog. The test will also demonstrate the evaluation of the dog's behavior around people with the use of some type of service equipment (wheelchairs, crutches, etc.). Students with dogs under a year that take this class may take their CGC then be evaluated for TDI at the time dog turns (1) Year of Age.
