Taking the 10-skill CGC test is the payoff for all your hard work! Once you feel like you and your dog have mastered all ten skills, you’re ready to take the CGC Test with our AKC Approved CGC Evaluator.

The 10 test items on the CGC test are: accepting a friendly stranger, sitting politely for petting, appearance and grooming, out for a walk, walking through a crowd, sit/down/stay in place, come when called, reaction to another dog, and supervised separation.

More Details: See the AKC Participant and Evaluator Guide here.

Price: $20 + $2.50 registration fee.  Note: A separate fee maybe required by the AKC for the title submission.

What to bring:  Brush, 6 foot leash, a flat buckle collar, martingale collar or a non restrictive harness.  

Day of Test: The order of testing will be on a first come basis. Please try to come 10 minutes early to sign in and get settled.

Note: If you pass the CGC test, on the same day you can pay $10 exact cash at the event and perform 5 Novice tricks to earn the AKC Trick Dog Novice title.  No tricks registration needed.

Cancellation & Refunds: If you need to cancel anytime before the day of the test / evaluations, we’re happy to offer a refund minus fees (currently about $3 to cover registration fees and credit card processing). No refunds can be given for cancellations made on the day of the test / evaluations. We’re also unable to offer refunds, credits, or prorated fees for missed test / evaluations. I'm only signing up the one handler who’ll be working with the dog. If there are additional registrations with the same dog, those registrations will be canceled and refunded, minus fees. Need to switch to a different test / evaluation or date? Transfers may be possible, depending on space availability. Price differences will apply. Just contact us and we’ll do our best to help.
