Level 2 is preparation for the Canine Good Citizen test and/or evaluation for Therapy Dog International certification. The Canine Good Citizen is a program started by the American Kennel Club to award dogs who have good manners at home and in the community. This program stresses responsible ownership by the owner and good manners by the dog.

This Level 2 class will help you practice the skills necessary for evaluation and prepare you and your dog for facility visits. You will have the opportunity to visit the residents in the long term care facilities where the class is taught.

We will discuss the different types of populations you may visit and different activities you may offer them when visiting with your dog. A Canine Good Citizen test and/or Therapy Dog International evaluation is offered the last week of class.
